Adult Orchestra 

A vibrant group of amateur adult musicians of all ages, rehearses every other week for a total of nine meetings per semester. Orchestra repertoire is varied, but primarily consists of symphonic literature of the classical period. Emphasis is placed on sight reading new music on a regular basis and reading specific works of particular interest to orchestra members.  Member recommendations of additional works to be read during the season are also welcome. 

Fees: 
$195 for 18-week session

The Orchestra is led by conductor Martin Knoblauch.  In the last 50 years, Martin has conducted over 500 works of orchestra, opera and choral repertoire throughout the Philadelphia area.  His musical interests extend from Gregorian Chant to Wagner.  He has Bachelors and Masters degrees in Orchestral and Opera Conducting from the University of the Arts.
