Students participate in staff-supervised ensembles as approved by the Director. Unless otherwise directed, string, woodwind, brass, and percussion instrumentalists are required to perform in two Orchestra concerts scheduled each semester.

A composition student may also participate in an ensemble, by arrangement with the director and composition staff, developing a new work for rehearsal and/or performance (normally no more than one composer per ensemble per semester).

Performers will develop their techniques as ensemble players and study selected repertoire to performance standard.

Composers will develop their skills in writing for and working with ensembles, in rehearsal and concert.
