The Junior Symphonic Ensemble offers exciting orchestral experience and concert repertoire to older (ages 10 to 18), more advanced students. The JSE is a full orchestra, complete with strings, winds, and percussion. Repertoire is selected from the standard orchestral repertoire, giving students their first exposure to great overtures, concertos, and symphonies, as well as shorter orchestral works. Past JSE performances have included:

Haydn, Symphony No. 100 "Military"

Mendelssohn, Hebrides Overture

Mozart, Piano Concerto No. 23

Mozart, Symphony No. 35

Moskowski, Spanish Dances

Tchaikovsky, Eugene Onegin Waltz

Upon review, select members of the JSE are eligible to join the Young Symphonic Ensemble (YSE) in the annual Discovery Gala concert or on tour. The JSE is featured twice a year in the annual Winter and Spring Concerts.

The Junior Symphonic Ensemble meets on Saturdays from 1:30 to 3:30 PM.
