Sequim Community Orchestra

We are an orchestra of around 30 musicians, of all ages, who come together to improve our performance skills and to experience playing in an orchestra. Most of us studied music in school, then moved into a career, and now are returning to, and rediscovering our love for music. Many of us picked up our instrument at a more advanced age and are pursuing a desire to do something we've always wanted to. This orchestra is designed for orchestra musicians of intermediate skill. Though we do some performing during the year, our focus is on learning, and growing as musicians.

Rehearsals are on Tuesdays from 7pm to 9pm in the James Center for Performing Arts in Sequim beginning on Tuesday, 18 September, 2012 and will run through the end of June.

School-age youngsters, adults and seniors are all encouraged to join the Sequim Community Orchestra.

Musicians don't have to live in Sequim. A number of players from both Port Angeles and the Dungeness Valley have expressed interest.

Instrument: Violin

Call me a late bloomer. That's me, the professional writer who woke up one morning in her mid-forties thinking she could learn to play the violin. What was I thinking? At my first recital, I attempted to play a piece that sounded more like a cat fight than a J.S. Bach minuet. When it was over, the audience applauded, I guessed, not because I was any good, but because the painful screeching had stopped. Thankfully, something called "perseverance" has kept me going. Now, a few years later, I can pick up my violin and play with relative confidence, no longer surprised, somewhat in awe. Do I hear music?
