String music has been part of the Evanston community since the first fiddle entered the valley. Community orchestras started and then faded. Then in 2004, a board was formed to promote strings. A few after school string classes were begun. That has grown to string orchestra classes in both middle schools, a 50-string high school orchestra, and the Evanston Civic Orchestra. In 2012, the Evanston Civic Chorus joined the Evanston Civic Orchestra to broaden the opportunity for participants and music.
The Evanston Civic Orchestra desires to be a permanent, contributing part of our community.
