STRATUS CHAMBER ORCHESTRA, FORMERLY CALLED MUSICA SACRA CHAMBER ORCHESTRA, IS A CHAMBER ORCHESTRA OF APPROXIMATELY 40 MUSICIANS WHO SHARE A VISION OF THE FINEST POSSIBLE MUSICAL PERFORMANCES PRESENTED IN AN INNOVATIVE STYLE. THE ORCHESTRA'S VISION IS TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE PRESENTATION OF CLASSICAL MUSIC TO AUDIENCES THROUGH UNEXPECTED COLLABORATIONS AND DIFFERENT PRESENTATION MODELS. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS A CONCERT WHERE THE AUDIENCE SITS WITH THE ORCHESTRA MUSICIANS. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS A CONCERT WHERE THE ORCHESTRA ACTS AS WELL AS PLAYS MUSIC. EACH SEASON THE ORCHESTRA PRESENTS 8 OR MORE CONCERTS THROUGHOUT THE DENVER METRO AREA FOR A MINIMUM OF 1,000 PEOPLE.

IN 2002 AUGUSTANA ARTS ESTABLISHED THE CITY STRINGS PROGRAM, WHICH OFFERS GROUP VIOLIN, VIOLA, AND CELLO LESSONS TO ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN IN SEVERAL SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY SITES ACROSS THE DENVER METRO AREA. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES AT-RISK CHILDREN TO MUSIC, AND IT ALSO HELPS THEM TO GROW IN OTHER AREAS BY TEACHING SELF-DISCIPLINE AND GROW SELF- CONFIDENCE. EVERY CITY STRINGS STUDENT PARTICIPATES IN A GROUP LESSON TAUGHT BY A SUZUKI-TRAINED PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTOR. IN THE 2015-2016 SEASON MORE THAN 130 CHILDREN PARTICIPATED IN THE CITY STRINGS PROGRAM.

THE AUGUSTANA ARTS CONCERT SERIES PRESENTS NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED MUSICIANS AND PERFORMING GROUPS AS WELL AS LOCAL ENSEMBLES AT AUGUSTANA LUTHERAN CHURCH. THIS CONCERT SERIES IS WELL KNOWN FOR CHORAL PERFORMANCES, ORGAN RECITALS, AND CHAMBER MUSIC.
