Meet our Musicians

The Harding University Symphony Orchestra posed in front of a garden with a stone arch way at Harding's First Ladies Garden.

The Harding University Symphony Orchestra utilizes University musicians, local professionals and advanced string students from the Searcy Community School of Music who play violin, viola, cello or double bass. Wind and percussion chairs are reserved for University music majors only. The orchestra meets twice per week for extended rehearsals, accommodating University students and community members.

In addition to performing regular concerts on campus, members of the orchestra may serve as the core players for the homecoming musical orchestra each fall. Highly talented orchestra members may audition for positions in University String Quartets. Some advanced student performers audition for vacancies in regional orchestras, where they gain experience in a professional context.

Repertoire includes music for string orchestra and full orchestra genres. The orchestra also frequently hosts student and professional guest artists in the performance of solo sonatas, other solo literature and concertos.

Students wishing to participate must audition with a prepared solo or other suitable material. Contact the orchestra director Eric Colgrove at orchestra@harding.edu or 501-279-4575 for more information.
