Summer Sounds - Full Orchestra 9 am - 3 pm
CYSO has perfected the music day camp experience. Musicians of all ages and skill levels who have played their instrument for over three years come together to inspire and be inspired by participating in both the full symphonic orchestra and the intimate lively art of chamber music. Instrumental sections are given professional coaching. Each camp week has its own theme that inspires that weeks music and activities. A free concert will be performed the Friday night of each camp week. The progress that is made in five days is phenomenal. No previous experience with CYSO is required.
Summer Overture Strings 9 am - 12 noon
CYSO offers a half day camp for those string players who have played their STRING instrument for more than one year. The skills needed to play in a group are taught and practiced and where playing parts, listening to others, and watching a director are experienced. The art of creating music bigger than oneself is appreciated by students who participate in this program.
