Let us welcome your orchestra to Lagerquist Concert Hall!
Each year for the last 19 years, the PLU Orchestras have hosted up to a dozen of the finest high school orchestras from around the region to Lagerquist Hall for a day of music making and sharing. The Annual PLU Orchestra Festival offers your ensemble an opportunity early in the year to hone their performance skills and get great feedback both from our guest clinicians and from our warm, generous acoustic.
The PLU Orchestra Festival offers you...
- A chance to perform in one of the best concert venues in Washington
- Positive feedback from an expert guest clinician
- An audio recording made in the rich acoustic of our hall
- A downloadable video of your performance*
- A day of fellowship with players and conductors from around the region in a non-competitive atmosphere
- A low entry fee
*The video is available for a small extra cost.
