The Musicians Linkage Company, through the use of our intended company structure, presents the Philomusica Strings Orchestra (PSO), which will be a crucible of producing international class professional music performers, and the Philomusica Youth Strings Orchestra (PYSO) at training orchestra for musicians trying to audition into the PSO – both of these ensembles will be led by Dr. Goh Chia-Chien. The PSO will perform at the highest level possible and performances will garner ticket money to be split between the company and the performers. Additionally, the PSO will be a performance and networking platform. Some members of the PSO will be selected to perform in functions where they can potentially earn a comfortable income, will be sent for professional orchestra auditions, and potentially be sent for further education and performance opportunities in other countries with superior opportunities. Below the PSO will be a training orchestra for training less established musicians who are hoping to eventually make it into the PSO. The training orchestra members do not make any money from the performances or ticket sales – this is to give them extra motivation to make it into the PSO. However, the PYSO members will receive attention and training at the foundational level to strengthen their musical skills in an effort to prepare them for the rigors they will encounter if they successfully audition into the PSO. All of PSO musicians have the option to be connected with students and be given opportunities to teach as well for extra income and would be ranked according to tiers in respect to their qualifications, experience, and teaching capabilities.
