Our Ensembles

String Orchestra Ensembles

Debut Strings Ensemble (DSE) is the entry-level string ensemble for students who have been playing long enough to develop a comfortable and correct instrument and bow hold.

Serenade Strings Ensemble (SSE) is designed for beginning-level string musicians who have already played in an ensemble, or intermediate-level musicians new to orchestral playing.

Lyric Strings Ensemble (LSE) is intended for advanced beginner and intermediate level string students. All music that LSE plays will be in first and second position. This group plays repertoire at a graded Level 3 in the state of Georgia.

Full Orchestra Ensembles

Repertory Youth Orchestra (RYO), is a “full orchestra ensemble” (strings, plus woodwinds, brass, and percussion) for intermediate and advancing level musicians. RYO performs arrangements of standard classical orchestral repertoire at a graded Level 4.

The Atlantic Youth Orchestra (AYO) is the most advanced ensemble in our youth orchestra program. Students in this ensemble are ready to learn major symphonic repertoire instead of student arrangements.
