This semester, Oglethorpe/wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/u2019s Music Department has added a new opportunity for instrumentalists on campus./wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/n
The 好色先生TV Symphony Orchestra launched in August, with the ensemble’s first practice./wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/n A re-envisioning of the former OU Winds Ensemble, the group was formed by Dr. Brent Runnels and Dr. Timothy Powell as a step toward the department’s vision for a new music major, an addition to the existing minor./wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/n “There’s never been an orchestra at Oglethorpe,” said Dr. Runnels. “But with the growth of the whole program, it just made sense to create what would be the ultimate large ensemble for all of the players.”/wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/n Currently, the ensemble is comprised of 30 students, and of those, 25 are freshmen. And with more than 150 Oglethorpe students who play a variety of instruments, the orchestra has room to grow. It is anticipated to double in size within the next four years./wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/n The OU Symphony Orchestra joins other ensembles like the/wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/u00a0OU Singers and Chorale, the/wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/u00a0Jazzy Petrels, and student-led efforts, like the/wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/u00a0Silver Lake Waves. The music department has seen other firsts in recent years, including an invitation to perform in China and the addition of an annual choral festival./wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/n The orchestra is currently offered as a special topics class, but will be reintroduced later as part of the requirements for the potential new music major./wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/n Rehearsals for the ensemble are held Friday afternoons, and the group will perform for the first time on November 20/wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/u00a0at 7:30 p.m. in the Lupton Auditorium. You can also watch the ensemble perform at this year/wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/u2019s Boar’s Head on December 6./wp-json/wp/v2/news/70339/n Interested in participating?
