The State College of Florida and The Venice Community Orchestra OFFER A

“Community String Ensemble PROGRAM”

If you’d like to play a string instrument (Violin, viola, cello or bass) with a group of people of all ages in a very friendly environment, consider joining this joint program offered at the SCF Venice Campus as part of SCF Corporate and Community Development (CCD) courses.

The program consists of two terms (fall and spring) of 13 sessions each. It is open to anyone who can read music and enjoys playing classical symphonic and traditional repertoire. It is a multigenerational program. The sessions are tailored to players who learned how to play during their early school days then stopped, and later in life decided to get back into music, as well as to advancing beginners, SCF students, amateurs and retired professional musicians wanting to remain musically active. You are not required to audition to be part of this program.
