The Exploration of Music through Orchestra history
The Exploration of Music through orchestra is an annual performing arts event like none other held in Fort Wayne, IN. combining area school string programs to play together. The event began as a platform to gain awareness to two of the only full orchestra programs left in Fort Wayne community schools system, Northrop and Snider High Schools. Since then, the program has expanded to include area middle and elementary schools which gives those students a learning and educational experience.
