Late Starter Orchestra

LATE STARTERS' ORCHESTRA

The LSO is open to adults interested in playing string instruments (violin, viola, cello, bass). Beginning players are welcome to register for September 2012.

A program of PARK RIDGE STRINGS in suburban Chicago, the LSO is a teaching string orchestra for adult late starters (aged 25 and over), that encourages you to experience music-making by learning and performing music that is engaging, expressive and playable by a wide range of abilities.

By promoting a supportive and non-competitive environment, even complete beginners can experience playing in an orchestral setting from their very first rehearsal.

Players with previous playing experience will be offered the opportunity to be section leaders and run occasional sectionals.

There is NO audition required, and ALL sheet music is provided.

MEMBERSHIP / TUITION is FREE.
