“The CJMEA Elementary/Middle School Honors Orchestra is a wonderful opportunity for our students to play in a large, full-instrumentation string orchestra and meet students from other schools with a shared interest in music,” said All-School Orchestra Director Dr. Dorota Sobieski. “Students will gain performance experience and work with CJMEA directors, honing their technical skills and musicianship. I am very proud of our students and I know they will enjoy performing on April 22nd!”
