Coppell Community Orchestra seeks string players to fill out our string section in Coppell Community Orchestra. An orchestra needs strings and in Coppell we have no string program so we are calling all string players in DFW to volunteer with this community orchestra and help us give the gift of music to the community. For more information, visit coppellorchestra.org or email board@coppellorchestra.org for details on video audition and rehearsal dates. Playing with a community orchestra is rewarding as a volunteer effort and also allows musicians to be featured each concert and public performance. We can offer a state of the arts performance center and a board that will support your efforts as a musician. Come play with us!
