The La Cueva Orchestra Program is made up of three orchestras involving about 90-100 students. La Cueva Camerata is a top level auditioned ensemble with students ranging from grades 9-12. Camerata consistently receives superior ratings at district, state and national festivals and often wins competitions while traveling nationally.

Since 2014, Camerata has won the last three back-to-back NMAA state championships in the 6A string orchestra division, has been featured at several APS district events, and has played at the round house in Santa Fe for culture day. Many Camerata students participate in the NMMEA all-state conference every year and in other orchestras around the city. Camerata was chosen previously as NMMEA honor orchestra in 2007, 2010 and 2017.

Camerata and String Orchestra have won gold medals and top honors at regional and national festivals. There is an audition required (held every January), to participate in string orchestra.

String Orchestra consistently receives superior ratings at festivals and plays at an intermediate to advanced level. There is an audition required (held every January), to participate in string orchestra.
