Chamber groups are formed in the fall each year. Ensembles meet weekly for an hour, at homes of GGP families at times convenient to the participants and are coached by GGP faculty or private teachers. The groups often earn money by playing engagements in downtown hotels and for special events.

The advanced orchestras are under the direction of music director Geoffrey Gallegos.

The Cadet Orchestra is the beginning level for our youngest students.

Chamber ensembles include the Chamber Players Orchestra, Camerata Orchestra and the Galbraith Honor Strings, and cater to students of varying levels of experience.

Concerts tours, retreats, participation in music festivals and exchanges with other youth orchestras are a vital part of the ECYS experience, as well as guest soloists of international stature. Galbraith Honor Strings offers talented young string players training in a focused environment. Working closely with Dr. Kolchinsky and sectional coaches to develop their musicality and technique, these gifted young musicians provide outstanding performances for their loyal audience.
