The Southeastern Louisiana University Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1993 by Dr. Yakov Voldman. The orchestra performs annually in Southeastern’s Fanfare Festival, which draws performers and audiences from throughout the world. Recently, the orchestra has presented world-famous soloists and chamber ensembles such as Illya Kaller, Yuri Zhislin, the Moscow Piano Trio, and Nora Romanoff-Schwarzberg and Georgy Valchev. Department of Music and Dramatic Arts faculty are also featured as soloists, allowing students to hear their mentors in a professional performance environment.
Performing repertoire of all styles and time periods, the orchestra
performs an average of five concerts per year. It offers
pre-professional training to aspiring university musicians, and
provides a unique educational opportunity to advanced students of
