Saturday
Orchestras
Third Street's Saturday Orchestras program brings instrumentalists together for inclusive, ensemble-based music-making in a friendly environment. With four orchestras to select from, virtually all musicians will find the right place for themselves to create beautiful music with their peers.
Playing in orchestra provides an incredible opportunity for students to enrich their music education and gain valuable social experiences by making music on a grand scale with their peers. With multiple Saturday orchestras, young musicians ages five through 19, from the very beginner to the most advanced, are guaranteed to find a home in one of our ensembles.
