Orchestra Festival

The University of Colorado Boulder’s College of Music annually invites high school chamber and symphony orchestra to participate in an Invitational Orchestra Festival, in recognition of their continued excellence. Due to space and scheduling, participation in the festival is limited to less than 10 ensembles each year. If you are interested in your ensemble participating in the festival, please inquire early to Assistant Dean for Admissions and Recruitment Jeffrey Hoh.
