Rehearsals: Mondays and Thursdays, 7:30-9:30 p.m.
The Augustana Symphony Orchestra is a full-size symphonic orchestra of 70-80 members that has an active and diverse performing schedule throughout the year.
The orchestra provides a positive musical and social experience, while producing music at the highest level possible. Rehearsals are upbeat and fun, and the repertoire is both varied and challenging.
The orchestra typically performs two major programs each semester. Additional activities include hosting a student concert competition, reading student orchestral compositions and working with student conductors.
In addition, students may participate in the Augustana Chamber Orchestra, which will collaborate on staged productions with the OperX Ensemble, and learns additional repertoire.
