Class Description
Villa Musica Chamber Orchestra (by audition only)
In this more intimate setting, students will refine listening skills and subtleties of ensemble artistry while working on challenging and diverse repertoire. This ensemble will offer a supportive social environment of peers who are dedicated to advancing their own technique and musicianship.
Students in this group should have adequate music-reading skills and solid technical foundation from 3-4 years of private instruction on their instrument. Entry into this group is prefaced with a simple audition. Auditions are being held September 12th from 6:00-7:00pm.
This is a great opportunity to train for orchestra auditions and prepare for honor orchestra. Students will work toward a concert for family and friends at the end of each quarter. Violins, violas, cellos, and basses welcome!
