The Campus Philharmonia Orchestras perform one concert per quarter. They are open to non-music majors at both the undergrad and graduate levels, as well as faculty, staff and community members who play an orchestral instrument. The course is led/conducted entirely by UW conducting students, under the supervision of Dr. David Alexander Rahbee, Director of Orchestral Activities.
The orchestra also serves as a workshop for the conducting students, under the leadership of Dr. Rahbee. Highlights include performances with choirs as well as a performance with the winner of the high school concerto competition.
At present, The Campus Philharmonia Orchestras consist of two orchestras of equal stature (MUSEN 210A and MUSEN 210B), rehearsal times are different to help accommodate students' schedules.
