The Lost Mountain Orchestra program is comprised of over 200 students in 4 levels of ensemble performance. As students become more advanced in their musical abilities, they will have more opportunities and ensembles they can participate in. In the LMMS Orchestra program, there is no prior musical experience needed! We will teach you everything you need to know from the start.
