Playing for Fun
Holland Community Strings is a place for adult amateur string players to play and learn in a pressure-free setting.
Did you play an instrument in school, but haven’t picked it up in a while? Have you learned an additional instrument and want an opportunity to play it? Are you wishing you could play for fun, for a social activity, with no pressure to compete or perform? Holland Community Strings is for you!
Holland Community Strings meets once a week on Thursdays for 2 hours in three 10 week terms, Fall, Winter, and Spring. We play a variety of orchestral and chamber music literature. Everyone is welcome! The goal is learning and having fun. If you are brand new to your instrument, we can refer you to a private teacher (just call our office) and we’ll be waiting for you when you are ready.
