ORCHESTRA

Symphony Orchestra - Strings (805) (Full Year Course) 9-12

Join fellow violinists, violists, cellists and string bass players and make music with the Newton North orchestra. Play a variety of orchestral repertoire from baroque to contemporary, from Bach to Coldplay. Recent works performed include Mendelssohn’s Sinfonia I in C Major, Grieg's Holberg Suite Prelude, and Copland’s Hoedown. Wind and percussion instruments, auditioned from Wind Ensemble, join in to make a full orchestra. 

Each winter, the Orchestra collaborates with the Family Singers, Concert Choir and Vocal Ensemble to perform a major choral work; recent concerts include Vivaldi’s Gloria and Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy. 

Additionally, Juniors and Seniors are invited to audition for the yearly Concerto Competition. The accepted students will have the opportunity to perform solo with the Newton North Orchestra. This year we have two winners who will play Beethoven's Piano Concerto 3 in C minor, and Tchaikovsky's Roccoco Variations for Cello.
