The Concert Orchestra provides intermediate musicians the opportunity to learn rehearsal techniques and performance practices in a full orchestra setting. The Concert Orchestra musicians study and perform a repertoire that is challenging, yet within the abilities of the ensemble's overall musicianship.
Upcoming Season
Mr. Ryo Fukuda will take over as the conductor of the Concert Orchestra this season. Ryo has been the conductor for the Intermezzo String Ensemble for many years and he is excited to take on this new challenge. Please join us to welcome him to his new post.
Concerts
The Concert Orchestra performs three concerts per year at Archbishop Mitty High School. (map) The winners of previous year's solo competition will perform at one of the concerts. Admission is free.
Here is a video of the latest performance of the orchestra.
Rehearsals
Rehearsals are held every Monday from 6:30 - 9:00 pm at the Faith Lutheran Church (map).
Sectionals
In every concert set musicians will receive up to two sectionals coaching by leading professional musicians from the area. Approximately every 6 - 8 weeks the orchestra will be divided into small groups and professional musicians will assist SJYS members to develop their skills.
