The Ithaca College Chamber Orchestra, comprised of 30 to 40 of the School of Music's top string, wind and percussion players, is dedicated to performing string and chamber orchestra repertoire from the baroque through the twentieth century, as well as contemporary works of our time. The ICCO is directed by Jeffery Meyer and presents approximately 4-6 performances per year. Recent activities include a week-long performance tour of Ireland. All members are chosen through audition in the fall of each academic year.
Membership in the IC Symphony Orchestra/Chamber Orchestra is open to all IC students by audition. Audition repertoire and excerpts are available online. Auditions take place during the first week of fall classes. Auditions must show a mastery of the material and an awareness of the musical context from which the excerpts are taken. Recordings can be found in the IC Music Library and from various commercial sources.) In addition to the ICSO and ICCO, there is also the Ithaca College Sinfonietta which meets for two hours per week and presents one concert per semester. Please contact Jeff Meyer for further information about this group.
