Orchestra is a full-year class that focuses on the development of string instrument performance skills and musicianship. Students will be exposed to high-level music for string orchestra through concert performances and listening opportunities. Students are eligible to participate in numerous quartets, solo and ensemble festivals, and audition for honor orchestras. Rehearsals take place before, during, and after school, depending on student schedules and needs. The orchestral and ensemble skills developed in this setting prepare students for Chamber Orchestra. Enrichment opportunities include master classes, clinics, sectional rehearsals, special collaborations, and performance trips. This course includes several evening concerts each semester (please see orchestra calendar).
