C.W. Post Orchestra
Maureen Hynes, Director
The C.W. Post Orchestra is comprised of approximately 70 undergraduate and graduate students.  Rehearsals are held Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m. for full orchestra and Wednesdays from 8 to 9 p.m. for strings in preparation for the orchestra's performances at Tilles Center for the Performing Arts. Each semester includes a series of orchestral reading sessions and orchestral master classes with C.W. Post Music Faculty and visiting guest artists. For the past seven years, the orchestra has participated in an Educational Residency with the New York Philharmonic at Tilles Center on the C.W. Post Campus. The C.W. Post Orchestra sponsors an annual Concerto Competition open to all currently enrolled C.W. Post students. In addition, Music educators have an opportunity to study at C.W. Post on the graduate level in a continuing series of performance-oriented courses in conjunction with the C.W. Post Orchestra. A Young Artist Orchestral Program has been established which accepts a select number of exceptionally talented high school orchestral players into the orchestra.
