About Music4Life String Orchestra

We are a non-profit, amateur community string ensemble in Ajax, Ontario. As a learning ensemble, our objective is to provide a friendly and welcoming forum for string musicians, of all ages and skill levels, to learn, play and perform together. Our ensemble provides a unique experience for amateur players such that they are able to play and perform along-side skilled music teachers and professionals who are also part of the practicing and performing group. This arrangement provides an excellent learning environment for new players and is a true complement to traditional private lessons.

Through this fun and encouraging ensemble, members gain performance experience by sharing our musical creations with our families, friends and our community at large. Our more advanced players are featured in quartet/quintet performances for community organizations and private events which help fund our operations.
