MUS 190 - Chamber Orchestra

Performers in the Chamber Orchestra join other like-minded musicians in an instrumental ensemble dedicated to the performance of the best repertoire. The Chamber Orchestra comprises the most advanced instrumentalists at SC4 with other gifted musicians selected by audition. This group performs as a Chamber Orchestra and also in smaller chamber groups. The varied instrumentation and rotation of players within the ensembles provides students a variety of experiences, responsibilities and challenges. As opposed to larger symphonic bands and orchestras, the smaller Chamber Orchestra offers each performer more individual voice in personal and group musical decisions as well as to hear and therefore evaluate and adjust his/her own contributions to the whole. Students in the Chamber Orchestra will perform in public concerts.
