Symphonic Orchestra
The Hope College Orchestra performs nationally and internationally as Hope’s premier audition-based instrumental ensemble. We believe in J.S. Bach’s description concerning the purpose of musical arts in the created order: “The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.” Concert tours allow our musicians to connect with the world through embodied music performances.
