Orchestral Program

After completing the Prelude Program for beginners, students audition for four progressively challenging orchestras. Auditioning students are placed in an orchestra that will provide the right level of challenge for their skills, regardless of age. The programs include once-per-week rehearsals, several concerts, and opportunities for musical workshops and performance trips (we’ve traveled to Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and held a camp in upstate NY!). The season runs from September through May.
