I have conducted the Minnetonka Civic Orchestra since September, 2009.  The MCO is a non-auditioned community ensemble of about 30 players that rehearses in the orchestra room at the Minnetonka Senior High School on Monday nights.  The group plays a variety of standard orchestral repertoire a gives 3-4 free public concerts each year.  I have enjoyed my time working with this group and appreciate very much the opportunity it has given me to further develop my string pedagogy skills. 

The Minnetonka Civic Orchestra is a member of the Music Association of Minnetonka, a community music association that includes two orchestras, a concert band and seven choirs.  Founded in 1974 by Dr. Roger Satrang Hoel, MAM is thought to be the largest non-profit music association in America, serving hundreds of adults and students each week.
