Advanced Orchestra
Age: 12+
Time: Mondays, 2:30 - 4:00 PM
Annual Class Fee: $280
Instructor: Amanda Bauman
The Advanced Orchestra is the pinnacle of GCHFA’s string ensembles. Admittance into this group is by audition only, as it is designed for highly skilled string players who are ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding repertoire.
​
Our repertoire spans a wide range of styles and periods, from classical masterpieces to contemporary compositions. Each piece is carefully selected to push the boundaries of our musicians' abilities, offering them the opportunity to master intricate passages, complex rhythms, and expressive phrasing.
​
In addition to the two annual GCHFA concerts, Advanced Orchestra members may have performance opportunities such as special events, community engagements, and Music Performance Assessments (MPA). In Advanced Orchestra, students will not only refine their technical skills but also develop a collaborative spirit and an appreciation for the art of ensemble playing.
An audition is required in order to participate.
*Classes would be 3x this price without the generosity of our annual donors!
The standard yearly enrollment fee is $150.
Register early to save—$100 before August 1, $125 before September 1.
