The Sande Strings Orchestra performs concerts throughout the southland, mostly in SCV where we are located. Our recent spring concert at Barnes & Noble was so popular, we played here twice (end of April & beginning of May). Not all members were at this concert, but the picture is a good representation of our group.

Here are a few Recent Performances:

Cello Camp was a lovely success. It was also our very first performance at Borders Bookstore, 7pm on June 25th.

Several violin students have taken up cello & bass and this was a chance to play melodies on cello, all in one fell swoop. Working to make the melodies melodic can help when learning a second instrument, along with constant attention to playing by reading in their new clef. While not exactly perfect, each song was nicely played. Good training for our upcoming holiday season.

Our Jr. Orchestra had a recent performance as well - at the SCV Space on Bouquet Canyon. (thanks again to Mary Main).

Available for Hire

The Sande Strings' String Orchestra, Jr. Orchestra and string trio/quartet/quintet have performed in dozens of venues throughout Southern California. The choice of music is up to you, we perform quite a bit around the holidays, and the occasional wedding or private/public event. The kids are able to perform not just classical and show tunes but jazz, latin & international folk songs and of course fiddle tunes.

We are available for hire, and the money goes directly to the kids. Our current performance group or Orchestra consists mostly of school age students from 5th grade to young adult, who have been playing together for an average of over 5 years. The String Trio/Quartet/Quintet is more appropriate when space is an issue, the size is dependent on the selection of music you desire to have played.

Fully trained an able to handle the odd tree branch falling on us, we've paid our dues and other than rain (don't want to ruin the instruments) we've played in extreme cold and HIGH WINDS.

Already play? Audition to join us!

We have three levels of performance groups, a Jr. Orchestra, Orchestra, and string quartet/quintet. We are always looking for new members, but attendance at regular rehearsals is a must. Entrance is by audition only, please contact Penny Sande.
