Orchestra

Orchestral music provides much of the soundtrack for the human experience: triumph, despair, hope, longing, and more. Its presence is felt throughout our culture in live performances, on the radio, through cinema and even cartoons. Everyone has heard the theme to Beethoven’s 5th and many other canonical works even if they don’t realize it. Orchestral music stands the test of time and continues to shape how we think about and interact with our world.
