Repertoire Orchestra

3 units · Undergraduate

Fall and Spring: 3 units The Repertoire Orchestra provides instrumentalists in the school of music an additional opportunity to encounter essential symphonic repertoire, refine reading skills, and perform excerpts in context. The repertoire is selected to include important audition excerpts and to complement the repertoire of the CMU Philharmonic. The Rep Orchestra is not a performing ensemble, but exists for the purpose of facilitating reading sessions. The Rep Orchestra is also a place for music majors to practice a secondary instrument (such as a piano major who also plays cello) and for composers/instrumentalists to have an outlet for orchestral playing. Non-music majors may participate in the Rep Orchestra with permission from the instructor.
