Welcome to the Somerset Valley Orchestra.
|
|
The Somerset Valley Orchestra began in the fall of 1974 as a class in the Jointure for Community
Adult Education. Originally SVO had only 17 members; today it has grown to about 50. The orchestra is proud to
continue its affiliation with the Jointure. The orchestra's mission, from its beginning, has
been educational - its director is an instructor in the Jointure - while presenting concerts to the community No
auditions have ever been held. The orchestra members rely upon their own abilities and interests. Rehearsal
information: The Somerset Valley Orchestra rehearses on Thursday evenings, at 7:30 PM in the band
room of the Bridgewater Raritan High School. We have openings in all sections. We have a particular need for strings
and bass clef instruments. No auditions are required, and there is no age limit for membership
