DePauw University Orchestra
The DePauw University Orchestra maintains an active schedule. The DePauw University Orchestra, an all-undergraduate organization, focuses on performing and reading music of the standard repertoire creating a four-year overview that is a cross-section of music including most style periods, regional influences and genres. The DePauw University Orchestra won an ASCAP Award for “Adventuresome Programming of Contemporary Music” in 1991. It was featured in May and June of 1996 on USAirways in-flight program “Ovation” performing works of Stravinsky, Mussorgsky and Grieg.
The Orchestra not only performs its own concerts (often broadcast live on WGRE-FM and the Internet), it plays for DePauw Opera productions, accompanies student Concerto Winners, and performs with the University Choirs with faculty and guest soloists. Conducting class and Orchestration class students also have benefit of time working with the DePauw University Orchestra.
DePauw Chamber Symphony
Selected students from the larger DePauw University Orchestra form the DePauw Chamber Symphony. Formed in 1974, the Chamber Symphony performs concert tours during DePauw’s January Winter Term. Winter Term is designed for students to focus on a single project. That unique situation allows for an intensive rehearsal environment culminating in touring performances.
The DePauw Chamber Symphony has performed in Japan, Italy, Spain, France, Austria, The Czech Republic, Great Britain, Canada, in Southeastern, Southwestern, Western and Northeastern United States, in Carnegie Recital Hall (NYC) and in the Terrace Theatre at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
