2024 Orchestra Festivals

The NJMEA Orchestra Festivals take place every winter. There are four dates – two for middle/junior high school ensembles and two for high school ensembles. Any orchestra director who is a NAfME member can apply to bring an ensemble. Ensembles may be string orchestra or full orchestra.

The registration fee is $150 per ensemble.  Local professional orchestra musicians will adjudicate.  You are invited to stay for the day to listen to all of the performances.
