The USC Campus Orchestra offers the university's many string players the opportunity to be a part of a 50-member orchestra.
Led by conductor Julie Russell, the Campus Orchestra is made of up of music majors, music minors and non-music majors. It provides an artistic outlet and musically rewarding experience, along with an opportunity for music education majors to play a secondary instrument.
For students whose time is too limited to play in the more intense USC Symphony Orchestra, the Campus Orchestra can be a good and fulfilling fit. The ensemble meets once a week on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. in School of Music, Room 016 and presents a concert at Johnson Performance Hall in the Darla Moore School of Business.
An audition is not required. For more information, contact Julie Russell.
