When I was getting back into the swing of things, I decided to look up local community orchestras to determine what might be the best one for me at the time. Much to my surprise, there are a whole lot of options! If you are looking to play as a volunteer, there are many, many opportunities! And certainly, if you just love to hear live music, you won't be at a loss for lack of performances!
