Orchestras

We have three orchestras, all of which include STA and NCS students: the Upper School Orchestra (Form III-VI, grade 9-12), the Middle School Orchestra (Form I-II, grade 7-8) and the Lower School Orchestra (Forms CBA, grade 4-6).

The orchestras are primarily performance-based; that is, our goal is to learn music, and learn about music, in the pursuit of performances that are held throughout the year.
