The Homestead Orchestra Festival is a non-rated, comments only festival experience for middle school and high school string orchestras with a focus on musical growth and education. All participating ensembles will have the opportunity to perform for top-notch orchestra educators from around California and beyond, and receive a 25 minute clinic from them as well.
The festival is open to the public to view, free of charge. Families and friends are more than welcome to attend!
Registration will open soon! Start by filling out this INTEREST FORM to receive info about the concert.
To provide as many schools as possible with the opportunity to participate in the festival, each school will initially be limited to registering up to two ensembles. If additional performance slots remain available after the initial registration period, we will reopen registration for schools that already have ensembles attending. Thank you for your understanding and support!
Directors whose group(s) have been selected will receive an invoice for participation fees. Please do not send fees until you receive an invoice.
Please plan on having your group stay for an entire "chunk" of performances (around 2 hours) so that every ensemble has a healthy audience and applause!
