The Augusta University Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Robert Saunders is a string ensemble comprised primarily of music majors along with a few music minors, non-majors, and community members. In addition to its regular concert season performances, the orchestra performs in the greater Augusta community, plays for the Augusta University graduation ceremony, and is the featured ensemble for the annual AU concerto competition winner's concert.

The orchestra rehearses on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.
