The Strings & Orchestra Program offers students in grades 7-12 a college-
preparatory curriculum that fosters technical and creative development for young
musicians. Students in the Strings & Orchestra Program are provided the
opportunity to perform solo and orchestral repertoire from all time periods. Strings
& Orchestra Program students (including harpists) are placed in one of three
orchestras: Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, or 7th and 8th Grade
String Orchestra. All students participate in regular sectionals and master classes,
which are led by a distinguished faculty and internationally recognized
master-artist teachers. OCSA’s Symphony Orchestra has won national awards for
innovative programming and is consistently recognized for its impressive level of
performance.
