PLACEMENT AUDITIONS
We ask that students who haven’t auditioned with CVYO since Fall 2022 send a simple Placement Audition video. An audition is recommended for placement into Orchestras A or B (advanced-beginner or intermediate). An audition is required for placement into Orchestra C (advanced players). If the student is participating in both our Summer Orchestra and Chamber Music Camp, a single audition video works.

Chamber Camp
WH0
CVYO'S 2023 Summer Chamber Music Camp welcomes string players with 1+ years of playing and note-reading experience all the way through Class of 2023 high school graduates. Together we'll practice, play, and perform during an intensive week of hot takes and seasonal scores, sharing stands and forming musical friendships. Katherine Canon, area cello instructor, leads this camp along with sectional string teachers. No chamber music experience required!
WHEN
July 10-14 from 9am-noon, along with a Final Concert performed together with Summer Orchestra players on July 14 @ 12:30pm, and followed by a celebratory trip by bus to the Faribault Family Aquatic Center for an afternoon of water fun.
WHAT
All students in this 1-week intensive will play in two groups: a mixed chamber ensemble (string quartet or trio, based on level) and an instrument choir (all-camp violin/viola or cello/bass). Camp includes a daily master class, during which students learn to offer each other constructive feedback on their playing.
