Ad Astra consists of two orchestras
- APOLLO & GEMINI -
Students are placed into one of these two groups based on playing ability/skill level and/or grade level.

We value and understand that meaningful musical opportunities and positive role models greatly impact the social and emotional growth of children and adolescents.

In our first season our orchestras performed music by Bach, Respighi, Bloch, Mahler, Grainger, Williams, Mosier, and more....
We even performed a little Taylor Swift, ABBA, Coldplay & Dua Lipa for our community outreach concerts!
All repertoire selected is highly vetted to ensure educational value, age/skill level appropriateness, challenging, and enjoyable.
Ad Adstra Chamber Orchestra has designed a special and unique program in which school orchestra directors, private teachers, professional musicians, parents, and community members provide support and encouragement for the success of each and every student.
We are proud and humbled to have the support of the Ad Astra Musical & Educational - and - Community Awareness Teams.
