Students are strongly encouraged to participate in
the String Orchestra Program at the Conservatory to provide an opportunity for
string players age 7 and up to study and perform in a group environment. The
orchestras are made up of traditional and Suzuki students.
Student placement in our orchestra program can be arranged by
audition or on the recommendation of the student's private teacher in
consultation with the conductor of the orchestra. Students will be expected to
perform in at least two concerts per year and may be asked to participate in the
annual Brandon Music Festival. The Orchestra Program runs for 30 sessions from
September to May.
The schedule for the 2009/2010 year is as
