Cornell College Chamber Orchestra
The Cornell College Chamber Orchestra offers the opportunity for students of all majors, as well as Cornell faculty and staff, to perform a combination of traditional orchestral literature and outstanding new works by living composers. While focusing primarily on the string repertoire, the Chamber Orchestra is occasionally joined by select members of the Concert Band to perform full orchestra repertoire. As a student in the Chamber Orchestra, you may be involved in other music groups on campus such as the concert bands, choirs, and jazz band, as well as athletics and many other clubs and activities.
