About the Orchestral Ensembles
CAMPUS ORCHESTRA
The Campus Orchestra offers students who are not music majors the opportunity
to play in a University ensemble with limited performance demands. The orchestra
usually performs one major concert per semester. No formal audition is required,
but a minimum level of competence is expected as this adds to everyone’s
enjoyment of the orchestra experience.
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
The Symphony Orchestra is a select ensemble of 80 to 90 students who are
primarily music majors. The orchestra rehearses and performs the finest
orchestral literature available, from well-known works to premieres of new
compositions. The orchestra performs four to six concerts per year, in addition
to working with the University Opera Theatre and performing in the annual
Bach Festival. Members also occasionally have the opportunity to participate
in Side-by-Side, where they work and perform with the Minnesota Orchestra.
Admission is by audition only.
