Associate Orchestra

The Associate Orchestra is our developmental orchestra. It consists of musicians who are looking to develop their technique and musicianship as well as have an introduction into orchestral playing. The typical age range for this group is 10-13. Sectionals are held at least once per concert set with professional musicians to help enrich and encourage the students. The Associate Orchestra meets on Fridays from 4:30-6:30pm at the Joan Pisani Community Center . Additional rehearsals will be added at the Music Director’s discretion.

Every August the Senior Orchestra will also gather in the foothills of Santa Cruz for Summer Camp. There our musicians will have intensive rehearsals, sectionals, and musical instruction with our coaches to prepare for the upcoming season, as well as socialize and develop friendships which will carry them throughout the season.
