The College of Charleston Orchestra is a small orchestra consisting primarily of music students from the College. Some of the students are non-music majors who are experienced performers that participate in order to stay active as musicians. Members of the Charleston Symphony also participate. Under the direction of Yuriy Bekker, Charleston Symphony Concertmaster and Principal Pops Conductor, the chamber orchestra performs twice each year.
