Philharmonia Orchestra (non-audition)

The Philharmonia Orchestra consists of students from grades 9-12 and meets daily. One class is for violin, and the other is for viola, cello, and bass. Students study a variety of musical repertoire for their specific instrument including solos, etudes, and string ensemble works. This ensemble has evening rehearsals (about once a month) as well as concerts and other performing opportunities during the year. In addition to developing their playing skills, Philharmonia students develop knowledge of music history and music theory. Though this is a non-audition ensemble, students are held accountable for achieving a high level of musicianship.
