In the spring session, we will offer chamber music opportunities for our students, where they can learn their instrument from the scope of a smaller ensemble, coached by musicians from MOSY. Also in the spring, the Percussion Ensemble will provide our percussion students with the chance to play in a small group, with the guidance of a fantastic conductor.
