Keyboard Orchestra

The OMS Keyboard Orchestra was a phenomenon that started back in the late 1990s, when all beginning students who had electronic keyboards (61 or 76 keys) would perform together. 

Usually the Keyboard Orchestra would perform at Christmas holiday time, and in the spring in the concert or recital.  Usually the orchestra had 50+ players from levels 1 to 3, performing ensemble works out of the Alfred Ensemble books.  Audiences were delighted to join them in singing some of the Christmas carols and songs for the holiday season that they learned in their private lessons, and then rehearsed as an ensemble three weeks before the performances. Besides in recitals at the UTC West Atrium Stage, The OMS Keyboard Orchestra has performed at the Publick Playhouse for the Performing Arts in Cheverly, Maryland, at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center's Gildenhorn Recital Hall, at Metropolitan Seventh-day Adventist Church in Hyattsville, MD, and at the World Headquarters's Auditorium of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Silver Spring, Maryland.
