Our membership in 2022 was 108. Today it is 248!
Our experience is compelling!
“The Bands and Orchestras offer the opportunity to enjoy musical pursuits after high school/college. Ensembles are led by university trained conductors who are friendly and passionate about our music. The reasonable tuition provides comfortable space, music, stand and a truly rewarding experience.” — Nancy Wilson, Cello
