Community Outreach:
Besides its semester concerts, CRAYO shares its music with the community
in several ways. Outreach concerts are performed in area schools.
CRAYO also collaborates with other area art organizations.
For example, dancers from a local dance studio performed with the
orchestra during a recent concert and a CRAYO ensemble performed
with the Hutchinson High School Concert Chorale for a performance
of Vivaldi's "Gloria".
The public has been invited to share in various enrichment
opportunities, including a master class with members of the Minnesota
Orchestra and CRAYO sponsored community performances by renowned
college orchestras. Area string students, both youth and adult,
have the opportunity to study with outstanding guest conductors
by participating in CRAYO's annual summer string camp.
