Frontier Strings
Frontier Strings is comprised of select students who truly encompass Omaha Conservatory of Music’s core values of musical community: passion, dedication, and excellence.
This premier string ensemble of advanced students performs a variety of repertoire — pop songs, sacred music, fiddle tunes, classical show tunes, and movie music — all from memory. Frontier Strings performs throughout the community during the academic year and tours nationally or internationally each summer. The group has performed throughout the United States and Europe, delighting audiences everywhere with their stunt-fiddling dance moves, and even hula-hooping while performing music at top speed! (Students do not need to be studying privately at the Conservatory to participate in this group.)
Prerequisite: Violinists who have achieved Suzuki Book 4+ or equivalent. The most advanced students should be able to play three octave scales and arpeggios with fluency and are studying the standard violin concerto repertoire.
