University Philharmonic Orchestra: The University Philharmonic Orchestra includes woodwind, brass, percussion, and string musicians from disciplines across the university. This ensemble studies and prepares standard and contemporary orchestral repertoire and performs four concerts each year. Please consult with the Ensemble Library in Ferguson Hall for more details on the rehearsal and performance schedule. Placement in the ensemble is determined through an audition; all university students are eligible to audition but should have moderate to advanced proficiency on a traditional orchestral instrument.

Gold Campus Orchestra and Maroon Campus Orchestra: The Gold and Maroon Campus Orchestras include woodwind, brass, percussion, and string musicians from disciplines across the university. Consisting primarily of non-music majors, these ensembles are intended as a way for students outside the School of Music to continue performing in college. Music majors are also encouraged to perform on a secondary instrument. These ensembles study and prepare standard and contemporary orchestral repertoire and perform two concerts per semester. No audition is required to join the Gold or Maroon Campus Orchestra, though basic proficiency on a traditional orchestral instrument and fluency in reading notated music is a requirement.
