New Mexico State University

The New Mexico State University Philharmonic Orchestra is a vibrant orchestra made up of NMSU students of all majors. The orchestra provides multiple performance opportunities each semester, exploring repertoire ranging from the Baroque to the Modern era for both string and full orchestra. NMSU Phil regularly collaborates with soloists, faculty, other organizations such as Camerata del Sol, and within the NMSU music department for larger-scale productions with NMSU Choirs, Bands, Lyric Theatre, and others.

The NMSU Philharmonic Orchestra is designed to provide students with the opportunity to explore orchestral repertoire that is technically and musically demanding. Students will gain knowledge and experience in orchestral performance through rehearsals, sectionals, and concerts through a high level of preparation and instruction.

Students are encouraged to join to continue the joy of making music, and to be a part of a community that fosters growth and learning. Enrollment is open to all majors through audition.

Auditions will take place on August 19th in the Music Center. For information, requirements, and audition materials, please visit the link below.
