Discovery Orchestras give students a means of self-expression through music, builds a sense of community and pride, and exposes students to a variety of musical cultures. We do this through large ensemble rehearsals and sectionals, as well as through our performances. Students learn life-long skills that they will use regardless of the life path they choose.
