Partnership in Music Orchestra:
The Partnership in Music Orchestra was created in the Fall of 2022 with a Memorandum of Agreement between Cal Poly Humboldt and All Seasons Orchestra. The MOA created a partnership between ASO and Humboldt Symphony which most importantly allowed Cal Poly Humboldt students to receive academic credit counting toward their ensemble requirement for participating in the activities of All Seasons Orchestra. In this partnership, the conductor for Humboldt Symphony has become the conductor also for All Seasons Orchestra. The benefits for both orchestras have been indisputable. The PMO now has a robust membership that presents the opportunity to perform major orchestral works with full instrumentation. The presence of musicians of all ages, including high school students, Cal Poly Humboldt students and community members ranging in ages up to the 90s provides a richness of community involvement and mutual support. The community orchestra, through numerous volunteers, provides a support system for PMO that includes the management of venue, sheet music repertoire, musical instrument inventory, publicity, and even refreshments. PMO certainly benefits from the high caliber leadership by Cal Poly Humboldt Music faculty.
