Why join Hunterdon Academy of the Arts Youth Orchestra?

• If you play an orchestral or band instrument, we highly recommend that you join HAA Youth Orchestra. Performing in an orchestra is very different from playing by yourself, and most first-time orchestra students find the experience rather challenging.
• If you already play in a school orchestra or band, HAA Youth Orchestra will provide you a great, low-cost opportunity to perfect your ensemble skills and learn different kinds of music.
• Would you like to play First Chair in your school orchestra or band but somehow you just can't seem to make it?  Join HAA Youth Orchestra, and improve your skills under the guidance of an experienced conductor and rehearsal coach.

Hunterdon Academy of the Arts Youth Orchestra rehearses weekly throughout the school year. It emphasizes music sight-reading skills, ensemble playing, and orchestral expression by focusing on a wide variety of musical repertoire. Players should be 8 to 18 years of age, with a minimum of 2 years of lesson experience on their instruments. Players of all orchestral instruments welcome! Conducted by Russell Hoffmann.
