Orchestral Recital Series of Tacoma

Orchestral Recital Series of Tacoma champions artistic collaboration for music lovers of all kinds. We create incredible opportunities for music students to take center stage alongside professional musicians because we believe that all musicians should experience the extraordinary joy of live performance. ORS of Tacoma provides music students of all levels and ages the opportunity to perform with collaborative musicians in a non-competitive environment.

We host two events a year for student participants, the Fall Trio Festival and the Spring Concerto Festival, along with other small events like masterclasses for interested students. Our students have seen their confidence and musicality grow by participating in our performance, and some students who perform with us when they are young go on in life to continue with music, whether personally or professionally. For older students (yes, even past retirement!) ORS provides a welcoming, friendly environment to take center stage and show off what you are learning - no matter your skill level.

At our concerts, participants enter into a creative community of fellow musicians and music-lovers. I hope you can envision it: stepping into a concert hall where every participant is there to support each other as they take the stage. Our students, some full of nerves about performing, can make mistakes without worrying about losing a spot in a competition. This allows our students to grow and learn - practicing the skill of performing.

We would be honored to see you join us at a performance, or even perform yourself or encourage your students to perform! Your financial or volunteer support can help ORS ensure that these non-competitive programs can continue to happen for all students, no matter their skill level. Additionally, you can choose to support either specific or general causes - ranging from our program's general operations to being part of major goals of the organization as we grow right here in Tacoma.
