New Horizons Orchestra seeking members

The New Horizons Orchestra is a community string ensemble, made up of musicians of all ability levels, from beginners to advanced instrumentalists. The orchestra meets at the Senior Center once a week to practice a variety of string orchestra literature, including classical, movie and musical tunes, and contemporary compositions.

Other than being an adult, there are no age, ability or Center membership requirements for participating in the orchestra. Members vary widely in both age and playing ability. Several have picked up their instruments again after a long break and once again are enjoying the opportunity to make music with others in a group.

The group meets under the direction of Megan Glass, a Masters student in Music Education. Dues are $75 per semester paid to the director at the first sessions in Jan and in Jun.

The New Horizons Orchestra practices on Friday from 10:00 to 11:30 AM at the Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center at 28 S Linn Street, Iowa City.

For further information, contact Megan Glass at 321-8635 or glass01@mchsi.com , or Susan Rogusky at 356-5224 or susan-rogusky@iowa-city.org .
