What's New

The Cal Poly Symphony has been invited to be the showcase ensemble at the 2012 Washington DC International Music Festival, to be held April 27 through May 1. Our performance in the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will be the capstone to the festival, and will be the culmination of the Symphony’s first tour outside the state of California! We could use your help; any donation will be greatly appreciated!

The Cal Poly Symphony is a select ensemble comprised of students pursuing a variety of majors on campus. It performs works by composers from the Baroque through Contemporary periods, with an emphasis on exemplary repertoire for full orchestra. The orchestra performs at least one major concert on campus at the end of each quarter, and tours annually.

Admission is by audition, with an informal interview at the beginning of the year. Mid-year auditions are also possible, depending on available space in the ensemble.

The orchestra offers scholarships for private lessons to non-music majors who are serious and wish to continue their studies. Our teachers are nationally accomplished performers and educators, and are committed to helping students master both solo and ensemble music.

Rehearsals are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:40 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in room 216 of the H. P. Davidson Music Center, building 45.
