Mira Mesa High School is a comprehensive high school in the San Diego Unified School District.
The orchestra program has performed at a number of fantastic venues, including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Chicago Symphony Center, and others. Students in the program regularly work alongside string coaches, have collaborated previously with composers (we have an orchestration commission [orchestration] lined up for 2025-26), and have experience performing both historically celebrated works and compositions from newer (or less frequently programmed) composers.
We are thrilled to collaborate with our wind and percussion colleagues in order to perform full orchestra selections and frequently bring a ‘mixed’ program including full and string works to events.
