Community Orchestra

The Saratoga Springs Community Orchestra is a place where we can come together with other community members, to build friendships and enjoy playing a wide variety of music. We are a non-audition group which means we are reaching out to those that are or who may have been part of, music ensembles (such as junior high, high school or college) and are interested in performing again in an orchestra.

Rehearsals:

Rehearsals are held in a music room at Vista Heights Middle School (484 Pony Express Parkway, Saratoga Springs, Utah). This provides a great setting, not only in terms of acoustics, but also in our ability to have enough space to accommodate our growing number of members.

Rehearsal and Concert Schedule:

Rehearsal schedule for the Spring/Summer session are from 6:30-9:30pm every other Thursday beginning January 29, 2026 at Vista Heights Middle School.

• Spring Concert: Monday, May 4, 7:30pm at Vista Heights Middle School Auditorium
• Summer Concert: Monday, June 8, 7:30pm at Neptune Park stage

   *Please remember to bring your instrument and music 

How to join us:

The Orchestra is currently accepting new members. 

To help offset the additional cost associated with the rehearsal space, we are asking members to register and contribute a modest $30 towards the orchestra program. Click on 2026 Community Orchestra Spring/Summer registration at the following link: Orchestra Registration Link

If you have more than one family member participating in the orchestra or if you have other circumstances that would make it difficult to contribute, we still want you to participate in the program! Please just email Dan Fritch, the director, to sign-up. Orchestra Director's Email
