Chamber Music

The ECYS Chamber Music & Performance Outreach Program is an opportunity for ECYS musicians to combine their appreciation of chamber music with performances for underserved members of the community.

Chamber music originated as an intimate form of music that was played for its own sake, in the homes of musicians and music lovers. The social and musical pleasure derived from playing in a small ensemble makes it a favorite endeavor of professional and student musicians. ECYS chamber musicians earn community service through their participation in the program, and represent ECYS at outreach performances and competitions. The Performance Outreach Program is offered to members of Symphony, Sinfonietta, Galbraith Honor Strings and the El Camino Flute Ensemble. The chamber ensembles rehearse weekly with a professional coach from mid-September through mid-May. Interested members may apply through the ECYS office.

Orchestra

The ECYS Orchestra Performance Outreach Program develops new partnerships and collaborations with community agencies, schools, and performing arts groups, to provide orchestral performances for emerging and underserved audiences. The Orchestra Performance Program is open to all members of ECYS.
