Similarly, the string section is also very competitive and in order to maintain the highest quality performance of this kind of orchestral literature, the string section must not get to large and remain balances so as to maintain section clarity. As a result, we have strict enrollment quotas per section so most first-year students will be assigned to the Case Camerata Chamber Orchestra (MUEN 386 ) until slots are available.
Here is a list of repertoire that has been performed by the Orchestra since 2001 :
Orchestra-Repertoire-Performed-2001-2018
