Membership is comprised of beginning string students who are selected through an audition process and teacher/consultant recommendation. Although members are younger and less experienced musicians (some have no orchestral experience), they should have basic note-reading skills, including the ability to identify pitch names and play various rhythms using whole, half, quarter and eighth notes. Under the direction of Linda Woodrich, students rehearse 1½ hours weekly and present three concerts.
Repertoire
