Petit Ensemble
Petit Ensemble - A new offering at BYSO for young string players!We are very pleased to announce the start of a new string ensemble. The Petit Ensemble is intended for string players, approximately ages 7 to 10, who have successfully finished at least Suzuki Book One (violin, viola, cello, and bass), though exceptions may be made on a case by case basis. The ensemble will serve string players through Suzuki Book Four, and will be conducted by Marta Zurad.
This ensemble will begin meeting on Sunday, January 8, 2012 and rehearse from 10:00am to 11:30am each Sunday through May 13, 2012. We will start out with one performance this year on May 13, 2012, expanding to multiple performances in future seasons.
During rehearsals, students will work on ensemble playing skills, and musical interpretation. The rich repertoire will introduce students to a variety of musical styles.
