The orchestra’s Symphony Volunteer Association has been selected by The Volunteer Council of the League of American Orchestras to receive a Gold Award for its Picture the Music program. The initiative inspires students to harness the power of creative expression in a cross-curricular art competition inspired by orchestral music.
The society selected Dr. Russell Van Gelder as the recipient of the Leslie Dana Gold Medal Award. A former Washington University faculty member, Gelder’s research interests include molecular diagnostics for infectious eye disease and vision restoration technologies.
