🌲🎶 This July, members of the UO SOMD community joined musicians from across the country for the inaugural Parallel Play summer festival in New York's Adirondack Mountains.

Co-hosted by faculty from the University of Oregon, Lawrence University, University of Northern Iowa, and Tennessee Tech University, the six-day retreat blended chamber music, nature, and community. Participants rehearsed and performed together while also sharing meals, hiking, exploring the outdoors, and building lasting connections.

Created by an LGBTQ+ chamber music ensemble, Parallel Play fostered a welcoming space where music and community were equally at the heart of the experience. 💚

From the practice room to the classroom🍎✨🎶

Music education students at the University of Oregon are already making an impact in schools across the state through hands-on teaching experiences, inspiring the next generation of musicians one rehearsal at a time.
