The UA Philharmonic Orchestra is a large conducted ensemble, a course designed to nurture performers, educators and those non majors and community members seeking to perform orchestral music at the collegiate level. Admission to the course and ensemble is by audition and departmental consent ; only musicians who are prepared to commit practice time, energy, and focus to the ensemble will be admitted. In this course the student will experience new repertoire, improve musicianship, and learn ensemble discipline in a collaborative setting. The goal of this organization is to achieve the highest degree possible of learning and performance. It is the responsibility of the conductor and the performers to be prepared for each rehearsal. It is only through rigorous personal and ensemble preparation that the goals can be accomplished. This course partially fulfills the ensemble requirement for degree programs within the Fred Fox School of Music.

Audition required. Open to all University students regardless of major.
