<p>Is Hopkins Symphony Orchestra the only orchestra at JHU?
And is it for undergrad AND grad students?
And also, is it including Peabody students?</p>
<p>What other musical opportunities are available for wind players?</p>
<p>I have been wondering the same, except I am a string player. Are there chamber groups, larger orchestras for students not involved in music majors, etc…?</p>
<p>The HSO is composed entirely (as far as I know) of Homewood students (Arts and Sciences, and Engineering students, not music students). Music students at the Peabody Conservatory have two (or maybe more?) orchestras - the Peabody Concert Orchestra and the Peabody Symphony Orchestra. It’s possible for Hopkins (Homewood) undergraduates to audition for and join the Peabody orchestras - you have to meet the same standards as Peabody music majors would.</p>
<p>That’s all I know about music, but I’m sure other will have more information.</p>
<p>I believe that Tanman is correct except that I think the HSO comprises more than just students, i.e., any Hopkins’ afflilate (faculty, staff, etc.)</p>
<p>One of my friends is a violinist who takes lessons at Peabody for her own enrichment. Many students do dual degree programs with peabody and jhu, but I would think that’s pretty hard but it can be done!</p>
<p>Definitely a lot of music opportunities at Hopkins and over a Peabody. I suggest going by the tables at the student activities fair either as an admitted student or freshman fall!</p>
