THE GREAT NECK SOUTH HIGH ORCHESTRA PROGRAM

The orchestra program consists of a String & Symphony Orchestra, Chamber String & Symphony Orchestra, Musical Pit Orchestra and Opera Pit Orchestra. The orchestra program performs at the Winter Concert, Spring Concert, Winter daytime assembly and for the annual musical and opera productions. Many of our students participate in the NYSSMA Solo Music Festival each Spring. From this festival, our students are selected each year to LISFA (Long Island String Festival) All-County, All-State, All-Eastern and All-National. Members of the Great Neck South High Orchestra have been selected to the positions of Concert Master/Concert Mistress and Principal Chair in these prestigious festivals. Members from our string program have produced ten chamber ensembles selected to perform in Lincoln Center's prestigious "Young Musicians Concert". For more information about our orchestra program, contact Michael Schwartz, Department Head and Director of Instrumental Music at: MSchwartz@greatneck.k12.ny.us
