I have listened to many performances by some of the schools I’m interested in. In particular, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Chicago, Brown, USC, and University of Michigan stand out to me the most. I love some of the liberal arts schools, like Swarthmore, Pomona, Carleton, and Reed, except I’m afraid that their orchestras may not be as strong because they are smaller schools. Is this generally true for smaller institutions?
