About Innovation Studio @ NOI + F

Innovation Studio @ NOI+F is an ongoing collaboration between the National Orchestral Institute and Festival and the Academy for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. This program began back in 2017 to work with the concept of “reimagining the future of the orchestra.” Each year of the program is informed by the prior year and continues to build on this concept and what is learned from each year of experimentation.

Check out what we've tried!

Innovation

How might we redesign the future of the orchestra? How can learn as quickly as possible?

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

What happens when a group of people with a wide range of skills get together and make things together?

Audience Engagement

Who is in the audience (and who isn't) and how might we design to meet their needs?
