The SNHC Band has recently performed Sibelius’ “Finlandia”, John Williams’ “Olympic Fanfare”, Holst’s “Brook Green Suite” and Strauss’ “Emperor Waltz”.
No audition is required for admission to the ensemble. Auditions may be used to select lead players or soloists. Participation is free. If you are interested in joining the SNHC Orchestra, please contact Rick Cook at r.cook@snhu.edu.
