Minnetonka Community Education

Learn symphonic music and challenge yourself to the next level of performance as a member of the Minnetonka Philharmonic. Middle school level orchestra students may audition for this group in March. The group will perform at the Spring Orchestra Concert on May 29. Accepted students from last September do not need to audition again. Friday morning rehearsals will take place at MME in the choir room. Transportation to MMW will be provided for MMW students after the morning rehearsal. Minnetonka Philharmonic will perform as a part of the Spring Orchestra Concert in the MHS auditorium. Check with your orchestra teacher for the March audition date and time.
