Chamber Music for Strings
Chamber Music for Strings
Concertino and Camerata string players are invited to join the GTCYS Chamber Music Program this season! Chamber music is when a small group of musicians plays together without a conductor, which means you and your group make all the decisions about how the music should sound. It’s one of the best ways to grow as a musician!
Why Join a Chamber Ensemble?
- Strengthen musicianship by developing independence, leadership, listening, and ensemble skills through student-led rehearsals
- Cultivate positive relationships with orchestra peers
- Improve communication skills and teamwork
- Receive coaching from a professional musician
- Take part in extra performance opportunities in the GTCYS community and beyond
Chamber Music Details
- Rehearsals: Your group will meet about an hour before regular rehearsal at your orchestra’s venue.
- Schedule: 16 total sessions starting the week of October 27 and through the end of the season. The full schedule can be found by visiting this link and clicking on your orchestra.
- Commitment: Your chamber ensemble is expected to rehearse even if all members are not present. You’re allowed up to one absence per semester and you are responsible for communicating with your group if you are going to be absent.
