Your participation is the key to open the door to a successful year and a stronger orchestra program at Naperville North.

My best wishes to all as we work together toward that goal.</p><p>All courses include solo, small ensemble, string orchestra, and full symphony orchestra playing opportunities.  All string students perform many concerts each year in various groups.  All of these performances, both during and outside of the school day, are considered part of the course requirements and attendance is expected at the performances of the student’s ensemble.  </p><p>Extra-curricular Ensembles:<br/>At Naperville North there are three string based ensembles that rehearse outside of school.  </p><p>-The Renaissance Music Project works collaboratively with the band and choir in the study of music from the renaissance.  Some of the most beautiful music in the Western tradition comes from this time period. The season culminates with the Renaissance Music Concert in December. </p><p>-The fiddle oriented ensemble High Strung which focuses on American folk music and is the only non-audition extracurricular group.  It is an inclusive ensemble full of exciting performance opportunities.</p><p>-The Bella Corda Ensemble is an advanced string group that focuses on music from the Romantic era.
