The premier orchestra ensemble, the USC Symphony Orchestra, has received accolades for its fine and mature performances, led by acclaimed director, Donald Portnoy.
You don't have to be a music major to be a part of the USC Campus Orchestra. With a less intense rehearsal and performance schedule, ensemble members can experience a rewarding artistic outlet.
