New Ensemble - I am planning on having an ensemble of 8 – 12 people. It will be an auditioned group and we will be rehearsing at 6:15, before our regularly scheduled rehearsal. We will hold 2 different audition times, the first on Saturday, August 24, immediately following the end of the retreat. You can sign up on Friday night of the retreat so we know who is interested. The 2nd audition will be on September 5 at 6:15. Please know that I am depending on the ensemble to learn your music on your own.
