One of the most unique parts of Music for the Sake of Music is the Festival Ensembles. What started as a single string orchestra in 2011 has grown into a full Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensemble. The ensembles bring together a number of various people, all who simply love to play music. These ensembles are a perfect opportunity for area professional musicians, community members, and talented high school students - all of which will be joined by the Classic Program Teaching Artists and students in the Collegiate Program.
