The Orchestra Program at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp is designed to challenge students, whatever their proficiency may be. Students are grouped by ability, as determined by auditions on the opening day of the session. Our orchestra conducting staff selects a challenging repertoire.
Students receive five hours of intensive daily rehearsals, sectionals, and technique classes.
Students also have the opportunity to hear various performances presented as a part of Blue Lake's Summer Arts Festival, as well as participate in elective courses and recreational activities. Orchestra Winds and Percussion Wind and percussion players desiring orchestra must initially enroll in Band and are selected by audition on opening day. Students ranking high enough may then choose Band or Orchestra. Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp also offers a string orchestra program for younger students with less musical experience at Camp Bernstein.
