Chamber Ensembles
Chamber Ensembles give students the opportunity to develop their ensemble skills – working together as a small team, often playing music specifically written for their ensemble. They rehearse weekly during term time and usually take part in the Music for Youth Regional Festival, as well as other concerts throughout the year.
