New Horizons Orchestra CMP Workshop for Music Teachers
   

New Horizons Orchestra

Learn to play music in an orchestra as an adult - even if you have no musical experience! The New Horizons orchestra program is for adult beginners and people who may have played an instrument in school but put it aside for many years. Members of the New Horizons Orchestra will meet new friends and work as a team to learn music for concerts and other local performances.

The orchestra meets weekly for a two-hour rehearsal each Thursday from 6:30-8:30 p.m. with conductor Rachel Richards at Trinity Lutheran Church, Appleton. Intergenerational performances are anticipated with other Academy ensembles as well as playing for community events in venues including formal concerts, parks, and retirement homes. Call the Academy office at 920-832-6632 for information and a brochure about this opportunity. To learn more about the New Horizons program, please refer to frequently asked questions or visit the New Horizons website.
