Elevate Your Musical Excellence

Founded in 2018 by leading orchestral musicians and educators, Union Symphony Courses emerged from a recognized need for specialized professional development within the classical music community. Our organization was established when principal musicians from major symphony orchestras across North America identified a significant gap in advanced training opportunities for serious classical performers.

Our comprehensive curriculum addresses the unique challenges facing today's symphony musicians, from mastering contemporary repertoire to navigating the evolving landscape of professional orchestral performance. We understand that technical excellence is just the foundation – our courses also emphasize artistic interpretation, ensemble dynamics, audition preparation, and career sustainability in an increasingly competitive field.

What sets Union Symphony Courses apart is our faculty of active principal players, section leaders, and renowned soloists who bring real-world experience directly into the learning environment. Our instructors perform with prestigious orchestras including the Chicago Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, and Philadelphia Orchestra, ensuring that students receive instruction rooted in the highest professional standards.

We offer both intensive workshops and extended certification programs, utilizing state-of-the-art facilities specifically designed for orchestral training. Our small class sizes ensure personalized attention, while our comprehensive approach covers everything from baroque performance practices to contemporary extended techniques. Whether you're preparing for professional auditions, seeking to advance within your current orchestra, or looking to refine your artistry, Union Symphony Courses provides the expert guidance and professional network necessary for meaningful career advancement in classical music.
