The COF Orchestra is open to qualified students, staff and faculty by audition.  Friendly, painless auditions are held for all instruments in September and January of each academic year to ensure that all members are able to meet the challenges of the orchestral repertoire.  Additional auditions may be held at other times during the year depending upon current openings.  Returning orchestra members do not need to re-audition. 

To arrange for an audition, please contact the conductor, Kathleen Berger, at kberger2000@comcast.net or the orchestra manager, Michael O'Brien, at obriemi@emmanuel.edu.

String players are particularly encouraged to audition!
