Stetson University Chamber Orchestra within
a four-year period plays a representative cross-section of the
string orchestra repertoire from the 17th century to the present
day. This includes baroque composers such as Bach, Corelli, Geminiani, Handel,
Locatelli, Purcell, , Telemann and Vivaldi; this music is played on modern
instruments using baroque playing techniques. Core repertoire by Mozart, the
demanding serenades of Dvorak, Suk and Tchaikovsky, works
by Arensky, Barber, Elgar, Greig, Nielsen, Morfydd Owen, Sibelius,
Vaughan Williams, Warlock and Grace Williams.
The orchestra is committed to the performance of
contemporary music both by internationally known composers as well as members
of the Stetson student body.
In 2006 the orchestra went on a highly successful
concert tour of England and Wales.
