For the 2023-2024 school year, the Lassiter High School Orchestra Program is composed of 4 major ensembles:  Chamber Orchestra, Sinfonia Orchestra, Philharmonia, and the Concert Orchestra comprised of approximately 165 advanced string musicians in grades 9-12.  Additionally, there are on-going opportunities and training for chamber ensembles throughout the school year and for full orchestra performances with members of the Lassiter Band program.
LHSO has performed domestically, internationally and is the recipient of numerous awards and invitations.  Home to the gem of Cobb County, the Lassiter Concert Hall provides LHSO members numerous opportunities throughout the year to perform alongside professional musicians and guest conductors in an enviable state-of-the-art facility.

Under the guidance and care of the director, Dr. Charles Laux, LHSO students are exposed to a world-class music education.  His philosophy is simple: music is a fundamental part of the human experience.  He believes that music education is a necessary endeavor to ensure that the whole child is educated.  This is achieved by ensuring skill development, cognitive understanding, and aesthetic appreciation of music for all students.
