You might consider posting this in the Music Major forum.

Schools that often attact excellent nonmajor musicians include Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Chicago etc. Some LACs also have relatively high level musicians, which could translate into strong orchestras. A number of schools with attached conservatories also have nonmajor/noncon orchestras, including Bard and Oberlin.

Depending on your instrument and interest, there might also be ample chamber music opportunities available.
