Sinfonia Orchestra

SINFONIA ORCHESTRA: This course is designed for advanced level string players.  Students are provided with an advanced rehearsal approach, music theory, and music history combined to enhance high caliber string performance.  Students will be expected to perform group I music as a solo and large group as prescribed by the ISSMA contest organization.  Students will be encouraged to participate in competitions and events provided to the community at large that feature outstanding musicians, such as the ISO side-by-side competition and the Indiana All-State Orchestra.  Guest artists from universities and professional performance groups will provide additional support to the class material.  Students will be combined with members from the advanced wind ensemble to allow for a full symphony orchestra experience.  The symphony will also perform music of advanced level and participate in ISSMA State Qualifying competitions.  Original string and symphonic music will be performed.  There will be required public performances as an additional part of the evaluation process.  Students must participate in performance opportunities and rehearsals, outside of the school day, that support the advanced learning experience.  Private instruction is highly encouraged.
