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. In the framework of the Orchestral Training Program, students master fundamental orchestral skills: preparation of parts, auditions, sectional and full orchestral rehearsals, and concert performance; coaching by principal players of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and School of Music faculty.
During the course of study, the Orchestra works with conductors from the faculty of the School of Music on five projects, each culminating in two concerts. Between projects, a one-week break provides students with an opportunity to prepare repertoire for upcoming projects.
