Traditionally, a chamber orchestra consists of a violin, viola, and a cello, but if you play any other classical instrument such as a flute, oboe, or piano, feel free to join!

We plan to perform in areas of need such as senior centers, nursing homes, RI hospitals, public libraries, etc.

It is recommended that you have some musical background or experience in playing an instrument. If not, feel free to check out the free music school that Haven UMC offers.
