Course Information

Description

This is an experiential learning course. The ensemble gives four main concerts each year, sometimes joining with the chorus to perform large-scale works. Repertoire includes major works of the classical symphonic repertoire, solo concertos (selected through an internal competition), contemporary or late 20th century music and special projects. Students are required to attend all rehearsals and HRO activities (including Wednesdays for large project rehearsals and Saturdays for concerts/special activities). Students are expected to practice their music outside the rehearsal time. Grades are given pass/fail based on attendance and participation. Students are expected to enroll in the course for the duration of the season (both Fall and Spring semesters).

Course Notes

Students interested on the integrative academic portion and/or students interested to be considered as principal players and/or students wishing to be part of special projects should instead enroll in Music 107 for a letter grade. Prerequisites: Admission based on performance in HRO auditions (2 pieces in contrasting style) to be held before the beginning of the Fall semester classes.
