BOWS

 

Burlington Orchestra Workshop for Strings

(aka Barbara's Orchestra Workshop for Strings)

BOWS is Burlington's String Orchestra! The group will resonate with players who are motivated to learn and expand their skills, to explore string orchestra/ensemble music from the Baroque Era to the Present, and to participate in the music-making experience with others. Kim Diehnelt, Conductor.

BOWS meets for five Saturday mornings (9 am -Noon) in the Spring and Fall. The next BOWS session will be in the Spring of 2027.
