	Giving To Dordt

The Chamber Orchestra is a select group of 20 to 30 string players who perform works for string orchestra and are regularly joined by some of Dordt's finest student and faculty wind players for performances of chamber orchestra music. String players at Dordt College divide their rehearsal time between the Chamber Orchestra and the Northwest Iowa Symphony Orchestra.

Their director, Dr. Henry Duitman, has conducted the orchestra since 1986, during which time many outstanding string players have been members of the ensemble.

The Chamber Orchestra has recently performed the following compositions in the Dordt College Fall Festival or on a recent tour:

• Romanze in C by Jean Sibelius
• Adagio for Clarinet and Strings by Richard Wagner
• Winter from The Four Seasons
• Liebesleid by Fritz Kreisler
• Nigerian Dance No. 1 by Henry Fillmore

Listen to our March 30, 2007 concert!

The Chamber Orchestra is also involved in a variety of tours throughout North America.

If you are interested in visiting a rehearsal of the Dordt College Chamber Orchestra, they take place in the band room Monday nights from 7:30 to 10:00 PM (alternating between Chamber Orchestra and NISO) and Wednesdays from 5:00 to 6:05 PM. Prospective students are encouraged to apply for scholarships and to submit an audition form. More information can also be found in the syllabus or in Dordt's catalog.
