Virtual Peer Forums
Virtual Peer Forums are peer-to-peer conversations led by a facilitator and designed to connect you with your counterparts at other orchestras and ensembles in the ACSO membership network. This is a space to discuss working during times of transition, to exchange ideas, to ask questions, to share challenges, and to offer practices that have worked well (or not) for you and your organization. Most importantly, it is an opportunity to strengthen your professional networks and find colleagues to rely on for support.
VPFs are complimentary for members and $10 for not-yet-members. Registration is required. We limit the groups to 20 participants to maximize conversation and allow everyone to participate.
The following Virtual Peer Forums are scheduled between January - June 2021.
Each one will take place via Zoom from 11 am – 12 pm PT. Please follow the links below to register for the sessions you wish to attend. You can register for one, two, or all three in your peer group.
