LMU0025 - String Orchestra for Adults
Course Description
Have fun playing in an ensemble for amateur adult string players. Open to violin, viola, cello, and string bass. This ensemble is for the relatively inexperienced player, and music is chosen to accommodate the level of the participants. A concert will be presented by the group at the conclusion of the semester. Taught by Edgar Gabriel, a well-known Chicago classical and jazz violinist.
