De Anza College Chamber Orchestra (Spring 2010)

Welcome to the home page of the De Anza College Chamber Orchestra. If you came to our exciting concert on June 5th, we hope you enjoyed it. The details of our special June 18th concert will be posted shortly. After that, we'll be off for the summer. However, if you play the viola, cello, or pretty much any wind instrument, we could use you in the fall. Dig out your instrument, make some music over the summer, and join us in September. If you want to be really good, get registered with De Anza in August. :)
