Student Chamber Orchestra EPFL-UNIL

The Student Chamber Orchestra EPFL-UNIL, also known as OChE, is an amateur ensemble primarily composed of students from Lausanne. Founded in 2013 on the UNIL and EPFL campuses, the orchestra operates without a conductor for most programs, with artistic direction provided by the Konzertmeisterin, currently held by violinist Angelina Zurzolo. OChE presents two musical programs annually, covering a repertoire from the baroque period to contemporary works. Rehearsals are held weekly at EPFL, culminating in public concerts on campus and in Lausanne. The orchestra, consisting of around 40 musicians, offers its activities free of charge to both the audience and instrumentalists.
