Our Vision
Geneva Children’s String Orchestra was founded in 2017 to provide young musicians with the opportunity to develop their talents in a full strings orchestra. It is the only orchestra that operates on the full canton scale for children ages 5 – 15 who show an early spark of musical talent and potential.
Our vision is to provide a magical orchestral experience to each child, opening up the strings and music world to children of all backgrounds, raising the level of musical performance and promoting strings music to a wider audience.
We understand that achieving high musical standards is the result of much more than just the provision of world-class tuition. The GCSO’s experienced teachers provide a nurturing and warm environment in which children are encouraged to give of their best.
We meet weekly in Genthod (additional rehearsal locations will open up as the orchestra grows) and our rehearsals, in three streams (beginner, intermediate, advanced), are a brilliant chance for members to meet with other young musicians from all over the canton and learn exciting new repertoire.
