<p>Regarding the symphony orchestra, chamber orchestra and chamber music ensembles, how often do Pacifica Quartet and eighth blackbird work with students? Just a few times a year? They must have busy performance schedules.</p>
<p>That sounds like a question for the music department.</p>
<p>Actually I was wondering whether anyone here has met or worked with these professional musicians. Not all colleges have resident music ensembles so it’s great that the University of Chicago does. Just wondering if these musicians devote a significant amount of time to teaching and mentoring.</p>
