Mission
The NSA Chamber Orchestra provides musical engagement opportunities to inspire students to achieve the highest level of technical skills possible while developing the dispositions necessary to become not only successful musicians but successful members of contemporary society.
Vision
NSACO members will achieve their full potential as an individual, learning how to conquer challenges, develop time management skills, prepare music independently, and become an integral part of a small ensemble where everyone is invested in the excellence of music learning and performing at the highest level possible.
Outcomes
NSACO’s alumni continue to play music in colleges and conservatories as music majors and young professionals long after they leave our care. They often go on to careers in professional orchestras, bands, and teaching positions around the world.
