Students should bring one solo work, or a movement of a longer work; they will also be asked to read brief orchestral or chamber music excerpts at sight. The orchestra performs throughout the academic year in works spanning all periods of music including contemporary compositions. The Columbia University Orchestra rehearses once a week, with additional rehearsals before each concert. It gives at least four concerts a year. Distinguished guest soloists sometimes perform with the orchestra, and qualified student soloists may also have the opportunity either to perform or read concertos with the orchestra.
