Point of View Orchestra (POVO) is an innovative ensemble that performs a diverse repertoire crossing genres and geographic boundaries. The orchestra adopts an intergenerational approach, with youth, adults, and faculty playing side-by-side, exploring music from rock, folk, classical, and global traditions. This is not your typical ensemble; we will host two concerts followed by dinner in January and June. Instrumentalists and singers interested in joining POVO are required to audition on September 8.
