Orchestra

Students receive the best in music education at St. Joseph Schools. We are proud to be one of the only schools in the area to boast a full orchestra program led by nationally recognized director, Mr. Burke Lokey and Mrs. Rachel Cabanilla-Sinnett.

Orchestra students perform many times throughout the school year at concerts, state and local festivals, and in combination with the high school orchestra. They also have the benefit of learning with several artists in residence each year.
