The Colorado All-State Orchestra honors talented instrumentalists from throughout the state. Sophomores through seniors may audition. The competition was intense with 463 auditions for this year’s event. Each student performs scales, orchestral excerpts, and a solo. CA students Sophia Rodawig, cello and Matthew MacPhail, viola, were chosen for the top of the two All-State orchestras. The CA students will perform as part of the philharmonic orchestra and will be conducted by Dr. Matthew Spieker. The performance dates are February 12-14, 2016 at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, CO.
