The Orpheus process (including, for example, the way leadership responsibilities in the orchestra shift throughout each piece of music in response to the demands of the score) is also the subject of a case study by Harvard University Professor J. Richard Hackman.

 The Conductor-less Orchestra -- Harvey Seifter full-text article
In place of the traditional fixed leadership position of conductor, Orpheus has developed a unique system of collaborative leadership that invites every member of the orchestra to participate in leadership positions, either leading the group in rehearsal and performance as concertmaster, or by leading one of the orchestra's many different formal or informal teams.
While leadership within Orpheus is not fixed with any one particular person or position, the organization's members have clear roles in addition to their jobs as musicians, administrators, or members of the board of trustees.
In an organization such as Orpheus where positional power is minimal, and where leadership is not fixed, the ability of leaders to build consensus and to convince others to support their opinions is paramount.

 Joe's Dartblog: Orpheus Chamber Orchestra
Orpheus is very cohesive here, as the plucking, still rapid in pace, moves from forte to piano en masse and wonderfully evenly.
As the orchestra swells before the ending of the movement, Orpheus sounds very tight, particularly in the violins and flutes, which match one another in evoking the feeling of water (invocations of Rome’s fountains, perhaps) on top of a thick homophonic bed played by the rest of the ensemble.
Orpheus has been studied by the likes of Harvard Business School, University of Chicago, and New York University for their self-governing structure; there is no conductor, concertmasters rotate, and most things are put to a vote.
