Ithaca College

This past spring the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra’s Willard Daetsch Youth Outreach Program was the recipient of a 2015 Yale Distinguished Music Education Partnership Award.

For almost 20 years, an ensemble of musicians from the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra has visited second-grade classrooms throughout a six-country area.  Five Ithaca College faculty members in the School of Music—Wendy Herbener Mehne, Michael Galvan, Lee Goodhew Romm, Richard Faria, and Carrie Reuning-Hummel—have been active participants in this outreach program.
