Orpheus Chamber Orchestra
The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra is an American chamber orchestra based in Riverside Church , New York .
The orchestra was founded in 1972 by cellist Julian Fifer and other musicians. A special feature of the orchestra is that it basically works without a conductor . For this purpose, the musicians have developed a special team-based structure and a voting process called the "Orpheus Process". The concertmaster and section leader are newly appointed for each piece . This group develops the concept for interpretation and rehearsals; During the final rehearsals, the orchestra members take turns sitting in the concert hall to find out about balance, fusing sounds, dynamics and the like. a. to rate.
The "Orpheus Process" is now also being propagated by management consultancies for non-musical team building and conflict resolution processes.
