During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are temporarily suspending all in-person ensembles, and offering a specialized distance learning curriculum through our Remote Ensemble Program. We hope to return to in-person ensembles by Fall 2021.
​
Our Remote Orchestra ensemble course online allows young musicians in grades 5-12to develop critical performance, musicianship, and social skills through orchestral performance.  The online-only group which meets on Friday evenings at 7:00pm-7:45pm focuses on score study, sight-reading, sectionals, and a collaborative performance mashup project. Music includes a range of classical and commercial masterworks with level-differentiated parts to support all levels of participation by String, Woodwind, Brass, and Percussion students.
