Term by term

The orchestra meets for 10 weeks each academic term, with a 1 week break in in the middle. The last week of the 10 is always a concert, and the week before that is usually the dress rehearsal.

Summer term's music

This term will feature a wide variety of music, from lighter pieces to some classical, including Grieg's Hall of the Mountain King and the overture from Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro..
