For this week’s episode of SSO Homegrown, we go behind the scenes with the virtual music composition course being offered this fall by the SSO’s Education department. The students in the class, all members of the Springfield Symphony Youth Orchestras, collaborated on a group composition using the B-flat Major scale. Education Director Kirsten Lipkens talks with the course’s instructor, Haneef Nelson, about his experience with this virtual education endeavor, and introduces student John Cowles, who plays the melody on his clarinet.
