Orchestra

 

The University Orchestra is a long-established and integral part of the Music Department at SCU, serving the University and its cultural life by performing a wide variety of great music in Mission Santa Clara. As SCU's largest instrumental ensemble, it is a full symphonic ensemble of strings, winds, brass, and percussion.

 

Conducted by Anthony Rivera, the Orchestra performs music from many cultures and eras, mixing symphonies, orchestral showpieces and contemporary works. Among its annual concerts is a program featuring student winners of the annual Concerto and Aria Competition. Membership in Orchestra fulfills the ensemble requirement for music majors and minors.
