Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which ensemble to join?
Your student will participate in a brief audition which will be heard by our music teachers. The teachers will assign your student to an ensemble that best suits their age group as well as their playing level. Please see the audition guide for further details.
How often does the orchestra rehearse?
We meet once a week on Friday evenings for rehearsal. Depending on the ensemble, rehearsals last between forty-five (45) mins and two (2) hours.
How much is the tuition?
Annual tuition per student is $450. Families with multiple students enrolled receive a discounted tuition of $425 per student.
Will there be an online and/or hybrid program available for the 2021-2022 season?
No. We are only running an in-person program in the Fall, with appropriate safety procedures in place to ensure a positive experience for everyone.
Can Middle School Students participate in the CSP program?
In order to best serve the developmental needs of our Academy students, CSP program participants must be in grade nine or above during the current school year.
How many concerts do we have each year?
We plan to have 3 concerts this year with the option of performing in a concerto festival.
Can I come to a rehearsal and/or concert if I’m sick?
No. For the health and wellness of all involved in our program, please stay home if you have any illness symptoms, including coughing and sneezing. This applies to both audience and performers. We will strive to provide either a live-stream of the concert performances or a recording so that those who are unable to attend the program in-person may enjoy the hard work of the students.
