OrKIDstra
-
OrKIDStra is a great place to meet other young musicians and to have fun playing together! This ensemble will provide an upbeat and challenging collaborative experience for young string musicians wanting to explore the world of the string orchestra. Participants will meet weekly to play stimulating pieces from the string orchestral repertoire as a full ensemble, and in sectional rehearsals. This group will train string players in all of the skills needed to move into the Midland Odessa Youth Orchestra. In addition to weekly rehearsals there will be performance opportunities alongside the Midland Odessa Youth Orchestra and West Texas School of Music, providing a delightful musical and multigenerational experience!
