All University Orchestra Budget

FY2014 (July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014)

All University Orchestra is a student-run symphony orchestra open to all members of the CMU community. AUO also operates two subsidiary groups, the Flute Choir and the String Theory Chamber Orchestra. Rehearsals take place every Sunday 7:30-10:00 PM, with rotating sectionals 6:30-7:30. String Theory rehearses Saturdays from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM. Sectional rehearsals with instrumentalist coaches occue in tandem with these rehearsals. One large concert is performed at the end of each semester. String Theory also performs its own concert in the Spring.
