Stringfully is a String Academy that takes place during the school year for students in Elementary and Middle School that play a string instrument (violin, viola, cello and bass). There is an orchestra for each playing ability. Students attend once a week to learn their instrument in group classes with ESU faculty, alumni, student teachers.
Emporia State University offers a one-week string camp to children and teens in the Emporia community in early August. Chamber music, orchestra, music theory and group instrument classes are offered. It is a great summer experience!
The Emporia Symphony Orchestra is made up of ESU students, faculty and community members. The orchestra performs several concerts throughout the year and is a wonderful collaboration between ESU and the community.
