Who We Are

We are a welcoming group of musicians from all backgrounds who


​ play for the love of making and sharing music.

We are you.  We are teachers and engineers and students.  Some of us have played professionally.  Some of us have not played since high school.  Others are "mature beginners."  All of us have a love of music.

We volunteer in our community to share the benefits of music.

We are a "pay to play" community orchestra; we share the costs of rehearsal and performance.  Dues are $25 per month.  Scholarships are provided for those unable to pay dues.

We play for our community to inspire and encourage.

We work with each other to grow as musicians and members of our community.
