2003-04 Pomona College Orchestra Repertoire
The Pomona College Orchestra presents four full-length programs each season.
In the four years of a typical college career, a huge amount of music can be enjoyed
and performed. As always, the orchestra's repertoire includes music in a wide
historical range, from the eighteenth century to the present day. Some pieces
are established masterworks, while others are lesser-known gems that few
musicians ever get the chance to explore.
