Levine Chamber Orchestra - NW

This is a traditional chamber orchestra, typically with 12-15 participants. The Levine Chamber Orchestra class accepts intermediate/advanced level string (Suzuki Strings end of Book Two and up or Traditional Strings equivalent), wind, brass (mostly trumpets and french horns), and percussion students and is a wonderful opportunity for young musicians to learn and perform a wide variety of musical styles from classical to jazz. This class also focuses on the development of high-level sight-reading and ensemble skills.

Course materials and music are determined by the instrumentation of the enrolled students. The orchestra prepares three concert programs throughout the year and repeats each program in two performances. All Levine Chamber Orchestra class participants perform in all six concerts (see the dates below), give outreach performances and participate in conducting workshop.

Please note: An audition is required. Regular attendance is required. String students must be able to shift, and all students should be familiar with key signatures up to three sharps/flats.
