The University of Iowa Symphony Orchestra

 

025:192 ORCHESTRA (0-1 s.h.)

The University of Iowa Symphony Orchestra has been hailed as one of the finest college/university orchestras in the U.S.  In addition, this organization is one of the leaders in the premiering and promoting of new literature.  The 2008 – 9 season will include literature such as Brahms’s Symphony No. 1, Enesco's Rumanian Rhapsody No. 1, the original version of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, and Ein Heldenleben of Richard Strauss. Rehearsals are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 4:00-5:30 p.m., temporarily located at the Iowa City West High School Auditorium.

Auditions for membership are during the first week of classes each semester. (Orchestra winds and percussion are assigned by their respective studios.) String orchestra auditions will be held on Monday and Tuesday, August 25 - 26 in the Fellowship Hall of the Congregational United Church of Christ (corner of Jefferson St and Clinton St) and in Room 104 of the Clinton Music Building 376. A sign-up sheet for string audition times can be found in 107 Lindquist Center, open from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., or students may e-mail the orchestra office (music-orchestra@uiowa.edu) to arrange an audition time. Rehearsals are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 4:00-5:30 p.m., temporarily located at the Iowa City West High School Auditorium.

Changes in registration should be made with the orchestra manager.
