OSU Orchestra

The OSU Orchestra Program consists of the OSU Symphony Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra. The OSU Symphony Orchestra is open to both music majors and non-music majors by audition. The orchestra maintains a dynamic and varied performance schedule that includes repertoire spanning the late Baroque era through the music of today. The Chamber Orchestra provides advanced students the opportunity to perform orchestral literature in a more intimate setting alongside OSU music faculty.

Orchestra Scholarships are available to both music majors and non-music majors. Scholarships are awarded by audition and all incoming students are encouraged to apply. Please contact Mr. Douglas Droste for more information.

Additional information on academic scholarships, government loans, and grants is available through the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (http://www.okstate.edu/finaid/)
