Orchestra & Wind Ensemble

Woodwind and Brass players at every level will find lots to love in the Prep School's many wind ensembles and bands.

NEC's Youth Philharmonic Orchestra toured Iceland in June 2015 under the direction of David Loebel, where they performed music by Chadwick, Gandolfi, Chausson, and Rimsky-Korsakov!

The NEC Preparatory School offers a rich array of large ensembles for instrumental students with varying degrees of experience and virtuosity on their instruments.
