The Oregon Bach Festival has proudly launched a new HIP orchestral academy starting this June. Led by OBF Artistic Director Matthew Halls, with guest director Masaaki Suzuki (founder/director of the Bach Collegium Japan), and with a stellar faculty led by Monica Huggett (Artist-in-Residence and Artistic Advisor of Julliard Historical Performance,) this three-week orchestral program in period performance practice is open to students and young professionals between the ages of 21 to 35.
