Experience the World of Chamber Music through WYSO!
WYSO’s Chamber Music Program is designed for members who want to learn more about chamber music and perform in a small group setting. Some common types of chamber music groups are:
- String quartet (two violins, viola, cello)
- Woodwind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn)
- Piano trio (violin, cello, piano)
Members can request their own group members or be assigned to a group with other members who register for the program. After a group is formed, a coach is assigned. Coaches may be professional musicians, music teachers, or graduate music students from the UW-Madison School of Music.
The program is open to WYSO and non-WYSO musicians and students in orchestra levels from Sinfonietta Orchestra to Youth Orchestra.
String Players and Pianists are currently encouraged to register. Video-recordings are required to aid in group placement.
An additional tuition fee of $275 is charged to participants per year. Contact the WYSO office or view the application for more information.
