Biography

This is a year-long course.

This ensemble welcomes all melodic instrumentalists who are interested in a creative and collaborative process of making music. The repertoire is based on student interest and the rehearsal process goes beyond developing ensemble skills and integrates discussions of historical context, harmony, and form. This ensemble will change the way you approach music and challenge the convention of genres performed by orchestras. The orchestra performs several concerts throughout the year and past performances have included music by Tchaikovsky, Astor Piazzolla, Joe Hisaishi, Hozier, and Billie Eilish. Chamber Orchestra may be repeated for additional credit.
