The Buchmann-Mehta School of Music Symphony Orchestra is designed to prepare students in the field of professional orchestral playing on the highest artistic level.

The Orchestral Repertoire Workshop is an integral part of the work of the Symphony Orchestra. In the course of the Workshop, students work in groups (the various instrumental sections of the orchestra) with instrumental coaches on the repertoire performed by the Orchestra.

The Repertoire Workshop provides an opportunity for focused artistic work specific to the instrument and repertoire at hand, in developing the skills necessary for orchestral playing: unification of tone, intonation, consolidation of the section, strategies for part preparation and auditioning, etc.
