Middlebury College Orchestra

In this performance-based class we will explore the repertoire, language, and styles of orchestral music from the early Baroque to the present day. Regular group and sectional rehearsals focus on performance and ensemble playing techniques. The orchestra presents two concerts a year, hosts a concerto competition, performs with professional soloists, frequently premieres new works, and participates in special events. Instrumental proficiency recommended. Audition required. Open to all students without prerequisite. 4 hrs/week.
