Our fastest growing program, Purdue Orchestras prides itself on musical excellence and opportunity for all. Comprised of both strings-only and full orchestras, including the award-winning Purdue Philharmonic Orchestra, thriving Chamber Music groups, and the Sandra Yover Haas Quartet, the program offers an incredible variety of performance and masterclass opportunities for 300+ student musicians during the fall and spring semester. Each orchestra rehearses 2-3 days a week and performs two concerts – the perfect time commitment for any college musician – no matter their major.
