Chamber Orchestra (1st Semester) - Tuesdays & Fridays
Description
The Geneva Chamber Orchestra Program, directed by Eric Mendez, seeks to cultivate the musical gifts given to each of us by God, developing those skills through the active study, practice, and collective performance of string and orchestral works. The mission of this program is to nurture a love and enjoyment for instrumental music, cultivating proficiency on a string instrument of choice, learning musical elements, and sharing this learned knowledge with the community.

Chamber orchestra is for intermediate/advanced string musicians in grades 6–12 who have achieved a high degree of proficiency on their instrument and reflect a dedication to further their development in the musical arts.

Students will perform at the Upper School Christmas Concert, Spring String Showcase, and the Baccalaureate Service, among other events to be announced.
