<p>We have heard the Wesleyan orchestra rehearse. We have also heard the Hamilton and Bard orchestras. All are excellent choices. Last week we attended the Vassar orchestra concert where they played the full Brahms 2nd Symphony amazingly well after only one month of rehearsals. Music is very strong at Vassar and the arts are hugely supported by faculty, students, friends, parents and community people.</p>
<p>You have some good options in Bard, Hamilton, Wesleyan and Vassar - take a closer look.</p>
