Symphony Orchestra - Timothy Paul, Sharon J. Paul, conductors
Orchestral studies at the University of Oregon include opportunities to participate in the full symphony orchestra, chamber orchestra, opera orchestra, and smaller conducted chamber works that include strings, winds, and percussion.
The University Symphony serves as a laboratory for both music majors and non-majors who have demonstrated through audition the necessary expertise to study ensemble performance technique and repertoire spanning a broad time frame and encompassing a wide variety of musical styles.
The Orchestra performs throughout the academic year, including a concert featuring winners of the School of Music and Dance's Concerto Competition, and performances during the UO's Music Today Festival, which celebrates contemporary music.
(Graduate student Svetlana Kotova, winner of the concerto competition,
performing Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with the
UO Symphony Orchestra. Spring 2011.)
( Undergraduate Student - Sean O'Neal, winner of the concerto
competition performing Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto 1st movt )
Campus Orchestra - (not offered 2011-12)
Campus orchestra is an ensemble designed for students who wish to improve their performance skills through membership in an orchestral ensemble, but are not yet at the level necessary for participation in the University Symphony. Members are typically students from across the campus who have previous experience as orchestral players and wish to continue playing in addition to their academic studies. A brief audition is generally required for membership.
