The annual Toledo Symphony Orchestra Readings at Bowling Green State University are a unique opportunity for students to hear their work read by a professional orchestra. Readings with professional orchestras are rare in an academic setting while those outside of educational institutions receive hundreds of applicants, making them inaccessible to most. As a result of the composition faculty's emphasis on professional experience along with the support the college and community, BGSU student composers have the good fortune of gaining a richer understanding of the orchestral medium.
Another important aspect to this program is the addition of a guest composer. Each year, an established orchestral composer is invited to attend the readings with the student composers. In the subsequent masterclass, the guest composer digs deeper into the students' work and offers guidance for the future.
