Prima Orchestra

Prima Orchestra is designed to give new string players an opportunity to make music with others, learn the basics of orchestra playing, and to improve general music skills. Games and music composed exclusively for this orchestra are used to teach basic ensemble playing techniques. This is a great opportunity to meet new friends who play music. The orchestra is open to beginner and intermediate string players from any school, and is conducted by BMC Music School faculty member and Music in the Schools Coordinator LIsa Ferrigno. Registration is open on an on-going basis and the fee is $25 per semester. Members visit Prima Orchestra for the latest news and music downloads.
