The HMS Chamber Orchestra is a high-level small orchestra. Chamber music is rehearsed and performed without a conductor. Consequently students develop the ability to collaborate in evaluating and making decisions regarding the learning of a piece of music, contributing to the group's self-direction. We explore exciting music from around the world, and perform in the HMS concerts. To join, you must be in 7th or 8th grade (6th grade string students may be invited to join with special permission), you must have at least two years experience on your instrument, and demonstrate a high level of commitment necessary to help create a fun musical experience for everyone. You must also be a member of the regular orchestra program. It meets after school, on Tuesdays, from 3:15-4:15. If you have any questions, or to sign up, please see Mr. Hakim.
