Adam Grossman, Conductor
Open to intermediate pre-college string players, woodwinds and brass. Students placed in JRO generally play with fluidity, have a developed vibrato, and are comfortable playing three-octave scales and arpeggios. While orchestral assignments are made by level, not age, most members of JRO are in grades 7-10.
