Learn The Music From The Core & Become Mastery

The Oslo Orchestra began in 1999 when local string teachers arranged for government grants and community donations to form the first public school string program in Indian River County. Since then the entire IRC strings program has grown to 3 orchestra directors and a total of 3 middle schools and 1 high school program. The success of performing strings in our community and the impact it has had on student achievement both academically and artistically- speaks for itself.
