Chicago Youth Orchestra

Summer Program

Chicago's string ensemble for northside young artists.

The string ensemble is for the advancing intermediate string player ready to begin an ensemble experience. Being a member of the ensemble will enhance note recognition and sight reading, provide experience with conductors and learning to be a part of an ensemble rather than a soloist, all while learning new and exciting repertoire. There is space for Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass and Harp in the ensemble. 

Weekly rehearsals are Thursday afternoons from 4:30 to 5:30

Location: Via Zoom until the is deemed safe to meet in person. Then we will resume rehearsals at            Queen of Angels Parish Center, located at 4412 N. Western Avenue, Chicago, Il 60625

For those students not currently taking private instruction we highly encourage participants to take the String Techniques workshops offered through the summer. You can find more information here.

Tuition for Summer semester is $195 plus a materials fee of $25. 

Young artists are required to have a working knowledge of their instrument and be able to efficiently read music.

Dates: June 4th - August 27th
