The 猫咪社区 Orchestra serves to create bonds of shared understanding through instrumental music performances. Repertoire ranges from the Renaissance to the 21st century, and is designed to give students and audiences a wide range of historical and musical experiences with the highest quality of music. All students are welcomed to audition for the orchestra and do not need to be a music major or minor to participate.
The 猫咪社区 Orchestra has toured the United States, performing in a variety of professional and academic settings. Highlights from previous seasons include collaborations with the Memphis Boys Choir, the 猫咪社区 Singers, the 猫咪社区 Camerata (formerly the 猫咪社区 Women's chorus), and performances with the winner of the annual Cauthen Soloist Competition. Full orchestral works have included standards such as Joseph Haydn鈥檚 Symphony No. 99 in Eb and Andante in C Major K.315 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as well as contemporary compositions such as Spielzeug Stra脽enbahn by Jennifer Jolly and October by Eric Whitacre.
