Ensemble playing and more! 

Our youth chamber music program provides weekly small-group coaching with BMS chamber music faculty members and a performance workshop leading to the final concert each term. Additional chamber programming may include special events during the year, such as performances and/or presentations by faculty or a special guest chamber master class.  See the Chamber Music Event Schedule for details.

Please note:  Chamber music groups are open to instrumentalists of all ages and levels, generally after completing a minimum of 2 years of private instrument study and having attained basic music literacy. Fall 2023 Youth Chamber Music Ensembles will receive 14 weeks of coaching.

About

Performing Ensembles

Experience the thrill of team music-making!

Joining a performing ensemble is among the most exciting ways to explore music of any genre in greater depth and to share the experience with fellow musicians in a social, collaborative setting. BMS chamber, jazz, and rock ensembles for youth and adults offer weekly or bi-weekly rehearsals and multiple performance opportunities throughout the year. Small ensemble playing further reinforces the technical and musical skills aspiring musicians need for solo performing and large band or orchestra participation. 

Placement in an ensemble is based on an informal placement audition. Each group will receive weekly coaching from one of our distinguished faculty members.
