Colorado School of Strings Youth Orchestras
Join us this year for the 2018-2019 Season of the Colorado School of Strings Youth Orchestras! The mission of this group is to provide high quality, inspiring string education to enhance a well rounded musical experience. Conducted by Kelly Benson, this ensemble will challenge and excite young musicians!
Concert Orchestra
This orchestra is open to string players looking to play orchestra repertoire and gain ensemble skills in a supportive, educational environment. Students should be able to play at a beginning-intermediate level and feel comfortable with basic bow strokes, scales and note reading. Students will have the opportunity to work side-by-side with advanced players to build their confidence and community within the orchestra.
Chamber Orchestra
Chamber Orchestra gives advancing students the opportunity to play challenging repertoire while focusing on high level ensemble skills, leadership and teamwork. Students should be confident in note reading, basic finger patterns and be working towards developed shifting and vibrato.
