ROCK the ORCHESTRA is a project which allows for the study and performance of orchestral pieces written by rock and roll musicians or adapted from their music.
     Funded in part by the George Gund Foundation and the Kulas Foundation, this program celebrates music education and the convergence of classical and popular music. This educational endeavor gives students the opportunity to explore how an interest in popular music can be applied to classical music performance studies.
