2025 Honor Orchestra Festival

The High School and Middle School Honor Orchestra Festival will be held February 11th and 12th, 2025. The High School Honor Orchestra will be held on the 11th & 12th, while the middle school will be held on the 12th. The Honor Orchestra Festival is a brand new event for middle and high school orchestral musicians at which we provide an opportunity to work with guest conductors and get to know the amazing faculty at Marshall University. We are thrilled to begin this new chapter in the Marshall University School of Music string department as we welcome some outstanding music educators and conductors from around the country.
