North Georgia College & State University sponsors two orchestral groups: the NGCSU Chamber Symphony, a chamber string group, and the professional-level North Georgia Symphony Orchestra.
Founded in 2002, the NGCSU Chamber Symphony was created to
provide North Georgia students with experience playing string
instruments the opportunity to perform great string literature
from throughout history. Now under the direction of multitalented
conductor, music educator and pianist, Joe Chapman. Membership
in the group is open by audition to credit students with
experience playing string instruments. Community members
with developed playing skills may also audition for the
group.
Advanced players are given the opportunity to develop leadership
skills through solo work, or through opportunities to perform
with the North Georgia Symphony Orchestra, consisting of
north metro Atlanta professionals alongside the best NGCSU
students. The NGSO performs challenging symphonic literature
for full orchestra, providing high-level experience for
students and quality performances for the public. Membership
in the group is by invitation.
For audition or performance
information, contact Dr. Chapman through the Fine Arts Department
at 706-864-1423.
