Abbey Orchestra

At Delbarton School, we are extremely proud of the quality and diversity of our Music program and performing ensembles. There are a wide variety of ensembles designed to invite beginners to get involved and to challenge even the most serious minded music student. All of our programs and ensembles are designed to be positive experiences that will nurture the development of young musicians, and foster a lifelong love of music. Some of our performing ensembles are also open to musicians from surrounding schools. We are always excited to have new musicians join us year to year and share their talents with our student body. The Abbey Orchestra performs works from all corners of the traditional orchestral repertoire at four concerts each year. This is a very unique ensemble because it draws from the talents of students, adults, and professional musicians to produce an exquisite concert each season performing film scores, movements from concertos and symphonies as well as complete symphonic masterworks. The Abbey Orchestra is open to students in all grades as well as community members. A placement audition is held for new members.
