Saturday Conservatory is a musician development program that focuses on growing talent in a group setting. We are committed to developing the country's best string players.
We offer three different group programs based off of experience and playing ability. These youth orchestra classes do not exist anywhere else in Brevard, and we are committed to providing quality education for all students.
