Musicians
Registration
The Poway Symphony Orchestra consists of community members, high school and college students, music educators, and professional musicians. These musicians, prospective and continuing orchestra members, must register through the Poway Adult School for the Orchestra class each term. Registration fees meet the expenses of conductor, facilities, administration and liability insurance.
Come and support classical music in your community. Join the Poway Symphony Orchestra. We offer a unique experience of playing in high quality level performances of a full orchestra including all instrumentation for the modern symphony orchestra. The group performs three times a year at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. You will be introduced to a wide variety of the standard symphonic literature. For major concertos the orchestra will be joined by accomplished soloists. Musicians should be able to play medium to advanced level of symphonic repertoire. Please contact the conductor (see the Contact page) for entrance into limited positions (woodwinds and brass). Especially needed are string players in all sections, and low brass players as well as percussionists depending on the program.
