A New Summer Program
A New Summer Program
The Summer Orchestra is a graduate student–run orchestral program based at the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music. The program is offered at no cost to participants, with the goal of providing accessible opportunities for musicians to rehearse and perform standard orchestral repertoire during the summer months.
Centered on both artistic excellence and community engagement, the Summer Orchestra brings together local musicians in a collaborative environment that supports continued growth, connection, and high-level performance. The ensemble is committed to creating a space where musicians can engage deeply with orchestral literature while contributing to a shared artistic experience.
Qualified musicians are encouraged to apply and take part in this initiative.
