The interPLAY Orchestra members play professional percussion and traditional instruments from all over the world

The interPLAY Orchestra has over 50 talented orchestra members. This includes a group of dedicated “Bandaides”, musicians, professional performers and behind the scenes skilled staff for concerts and rehearsals. The Orchestra members include adults with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities.

Orchestra members play professional percussion and traditional instruments from all over the world. Some Orchestra musicians also perform vocals.

The Orchestra is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization and its board of directors meets six times a year.  All donations are tax deductible; click here to donate online.

The Orchestra is fortunate to rehearse and perform at The Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda, Maryland, one of its highly creative education partners.
