More About the "Junior Chamber Music Program"
|
Students audition in the fall each year, and JCM matches them into small ensemble teams (2-5 players) according to level, age, and location. The program is open to instrumentalists (string, piano, woodwind, brass, harp, guitar, percussion) and vocalists, age 9-20, and levels range from intermediate to very advanced. Students later meet their teams and learn about the numerous opportunities available. Along with a JCM coordinator, teams develop a rehearsal and coaching schedule to reach the goals of the team. Students perform in a variety of performances from March - May each year. |
