String Studies at CPP

String performers may find their foundations in the classical orchestra, but they are expected to build on that through participation in several ensembles during their time here. The CPP Philharmonic and OPUS String Ensemble perform music from far beyond the standard 18th-20thcentury works, and all ensembles at CPP program music by a wide diversity of composers and creators.

The CPP Philharmonic has an annual Concerto Competition whose prize is to perform as soloist with the orchestra, plus a scholarship award for the next academic year.
