In 1986, the orchestra became the artistic affiliate of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, where it has presented a concert season annually since the center opened in 1971. The orchestra of 100 musicians presents an annual 52-week season of about 175 concerts. These include classical subscription series, pops concerts and one of the country&#8217;s most extensive educational programs.<\/p>\n<p>The orchestra has a strong commitment to the development of America&#8217;s artistic resources. Through the John and June Hechinger Commissioning Fund for New Orchestral Works, it has commissioned more than 60 works, including cycles of fanfares and encores. It has long been distinguished for its nurturing of young American conductors; that commitment was reinforced between 2000 and 2008 with the National Conducting Institute.<\/p>\n<p>For a complete list of Ford Center events, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.olemiss.edu\/fordcenter\/\" target=\"?blank\">http:\/\/www.olemiss.edu\/fordcenter\/<\/a> .
