Young musicians are invited to showcase their talents during auditions for the Chamber Orchestra and Festival Orchestra on Thursday, September 5, 2024, from 7:00 to 10:00 pm.

The Chamber Orchestra is designed for intermediate musicians in grades 6-10, focusing on enhancing technical skills and musicality in a supportive environment. “We aim to cultivate not only technical proficiency but also a love for music within our students,” said Leandro Gazineo, Director of Orchestra Programs. “Our Chamber Orchestra provides a strong foundation for young musicians to thrive.”

For high school students, the Festival Orchestra represents the pinnacle of orchestral achievement, showcasing exceptional musical artistry and a commitment to excellence. This premier ensemble challenges its members to reach new heights in their musical journey, performing a sophisticated repertoire that fosters both individual growth and ensemble cohesion. “Being part of the Festival Orchestra is a significant accomplishment,” Gazineo emphasized. “It not only reflects a student’s hard work and dedication but also serves as a stepping stone to further musical opportunities.”
