<p>Hi all, I am an incoming BU freshman, and I am interested in joining a medium level student orchestra. I don’t plan on majoring or taking any courses in Music, just pursuing my interest in playing the violin in a no-pressure environment! Does anybody have any knowledge of any student orchestras affiliated with BU? I’ve been doing a good bit of research on the web, but I haven’t found any information anywhere :(.</p>
<p>Note that I don’t have much experience playing in an orchestra. Where I live there aren’t orchestras within miles! So a very experienced orchestra may be out of my league.</p>
<p>Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>There’s an all campus orchestra that’s kids not in CFA. It is actually quite good. Start [url=<a href=“http://www.bu.edu/bands/concert-ensembles/all-campus-orchestra/]there[/url”>All-Campus Orchestra / Concert Band – 10.22.2021 | Bands]there[/url</a>]. The conductor is nice.</p>
<p>Thank you sir, I will look into it. </p>
<p>It seems a bit difficult though. I took a look at their performances and they played some intense pieces. Does anybody know of any other organizations that are perhaps easier and don’t require an audition? If not, I guess i’ll try auditioning for the All-Campus.</p>
<p>There are ensembles but not orchestras that I’m aware of.</p>
