Pacific Mambo Orchestra
Sideby Side
University Performance & Education Partnership
Your students. Our musicians. One stage.
Shared performance · Professional mentorship
A place inside
the orchestra.
Side by Side pairs advanced university and conservatory musicians with PMO for a shared rehearsal and concert experience. A 13-piece touring ensemble joins seven students selected by PMO, with professional musicians leading the horn sections.
Student horn section: 2 trumpets · 3 saxophones · 2 trombones.
PMO provides advance performance materials and leads dedicated rehearsals.
Workshops & master classes
Learning that goes
beyond the concert.
Connect your musicians with participating PMO artists for instruction in ensemble performance, Latin rhythm, instrumental technique, and musical interpretation.
Paid workshops and master classes can be booked independently of student concert participation. Sessions are tailored to institutional goals and instructor availability.
