Joy of Music String Ensemble II
Susan Kirchhausen, Conductor
The Joy of Music String Ensemble II offers young string players the enriching experience of learning a variety of pieces by different composers. They will work on developing their ensemble skills, including stylistic interpretation, intonation and balancing their sound. Many string players in the JOMP Youth Orchestra (JYO) and Concertante Strings received their early ensemble training in JOMSE 2.
Last season's ensemble participated in a special Orchestra Residency Week with world-renowned violinist Midori. Through her Orchestra Residencies Program (ORP), Midori led workshops and rehearsals focused on collaboration, community engagement, and artistic growth, culminating in a public performance with our string ensembles.
The level guideline is Suzuki Book 2. Students must be taking private lessons.
Teacher recommendation for new students is required. Students not taking private lessons at JOMP are welcome but need to schedule an audition. Please call or email Caroline Reiner-Williams at 508-856-9541 or caroline@jomp.org to arrange a placement audition.
Please arrive 10 minutes early to tune and warm up.
