Our mission is to provide the opportunity for qualified musicians of all ages to play in full orchestras (made up of strings, percussion, brass and woodwinds) with the aim of beautiful musical performance and continual development of musicianship.
JSS members may eventually be invited to join the Juneau Symphony Orchestra (JSO) depending on their musical skills and JSO needs.
Musicians young and old and in-between possessing basic music reading skills.

Tuition is $60 per concert session. In addition, there is a $20 administrative fee paid with the first tuition payment of the year. Academic year tuition includes vouchers for complimentary tickets to each of the Juneau Symphony full orchestra (not Showcase) concerts during the regular season. Students provide their own instruments and music stands for rehearsals. Please see the handbook for more details on tuition.
Money should not be an obstacle to anybody's participation. We have a generous scholarship policy. Please contact the director (Rick) if you have need of tuition assistance. A printable registration form is available. Take a look at the handbook for more information in tuition and scholarships.
Rehearsals are at Resurrection Lutheran Church. Pops rehearsals are every week-night from 6-9 PM. During the academic year, rehearsals are on Monday nights from 6-8 PM. There are some exceptions to these times and places. Please check the calendar for more information.
