Scottsdale Summer Repertory Orchestra debuts!
Join Us For Our Summer Repertory Sessions
June 18, 25 & July 9, 2026
The Scottsdale Summer Repertory Orchestra offers musicians a focused summer opportunity to rehearse great orchestral repertoire in a collaborative, supportive setting.
Designed for experienced community, professional, and advanced student musicians, this program gives players the chance to stay musically active between seasons, explore substantial works, strengthen ensemble skills, and enjoy the camaraderie of making music together.
More than a summer reading orchestra, it is an artistic experience built around preparation, connection, and the shared joy of bringing symphonic music to life.
