Vestre Aker Strykeorkester

Slemdal skole, Vestre Aker

A parent-run string orchestra for children and young people, working with Oslo kulturskole. Pupils get individual tuition on violin, viola, cello or double bass at several of the primary schools in Vestre Aker, plus a weekly orchestra rehearsal in a group matched to level and age. The orchestra is split into Vestre Aker Gresshopper, Lillestryk, Storestryk, Kammerkameratene and Kammerorkester, and the joint rehearsals are at Slemdal school on Thursdays. The oldest players carry on until they are nineteen.
