The Repertory Orchestra is an advanced ensemble intended to elevate students’ performance level, ensemble skills, and musical confidence. RO emphasizes ensemble development and refined instrumental technique through music of a variety of different styles, including repertoire from the standard orchestral literature.
Schedule: Saturdays, 12:45pm-3:30pm (with sectionals scheduled 12:45pm-1:45pm during this time as needed)
Optional Enrichment Class
Chamber Music
Small groups (2-8 musicians each) that provide learning and performance opportunities outside of students' primary ensembles. Chamber groups will meet from about 12:00pm-1:00pm every week, so students must be available during that timeframe to join. Consistent attendance is essential for DCYOP's Chamber Music program! Chamber Music tuition is $100 (paid during registration).
