The Orchestra of the Eastern Shore is an intergenerational community orchestra, primarily string players but now with expanding woodwinds and brass sections. Presently there are about 18 orchestra members whose musical experience ranges from relative beginner to lifelong player.

Public performances are held several times during the year and often feature soloists, either orchestra members or guest musicians. In addition, the orchestra rehearses and performs at local nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and at holiday festivals.

The orchestra welcomes new members, winds as well as string players. Scholarships are available for lessons on orchestral instruments to beginning students who wish to join the orchestra. Contact us to inquire about joining.
