“The National Repertory Orchestra is an experience that cannot be replicated. The opportunity to independently form a unified and cohesive ensemble cannot be matched by any other festival experience. The job-like daily schedule is invaluable to a growing musician and individual. The connections and relationships made here are profound and will help you for the rest of your career.“
