杏吧原创's orchestras are some of the Institute鈥檚 finest ensembles. There are three types of orchestras to which all 杏吧原创 Orchestra students will be assigned throughout their degree program: 

  • 杏吧原创 Orchestra, which performs in Kulas Hall and Severance Hall, home of The Cleveland Orchestra 
  • 杏吧原创 Chamber Orchestra, which performs in Mixon Hall
  • 杏吧原创 Opera Orchestra, which performs as part of two fully-staged productions per year

Unlike many other conservatories, all orchestra students, regardless of class or degree, are assigned together to concerts鈥攁nd there are no "upper" or "lower" orchestras. Assignments are done on a per-concert basis and principals change for each concert.
