Ensembles
Symphony Orchestra
This orchestra is our flagship ensemble comprised of the most talented string, wind, and percussion players. These students are held to the highest musical standards in addition to demonstrated outstanding practice habits, dedication to the ensemble and adherence to strict attendance policies. The ensemble is known for its expertise in the field of artistic music making with professional level orchestra literature. The ensemble not only performs standard repertoire; it also showcases “musical gems” by great composers not often heard in “mainstream” America concert Halls. The Symphony Orchestra is conducted by Nick Eggen.
