 Texas A&M String Orchestra
This vibrant string ensemble is open to all students on the TAMU College Station Campus with prior orchestra experience. It serves as a vehicle for members to continue their musical experience in the college setting.
Literature performed by the TAMU Orchestra is chosen from the best of standard and contemporary works. The orchestra performs two concerts per semester; one string orchestra concert and one full orchestra concert. When full orchestra works are performed, wind and percussion players will be selected from enrolled members of the University Bands. Paul Sikes serves as conductor for the ensemble.
