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 20 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 for the festival is now OPEN! Fill out this form to register
Please fill out this form to register for the festival. Spots are limited and assigned on a first come first serve basis. In order to showcase as many different schools as possible, registration may be limited to two ensembles per school, unless there are spots available for more.
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!
