Woodwinds

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. Camerata Orchestra is an intermediate orchestra for students with three or more years of private lessons. There are weekly sectionals and full orchestra for all instruments.

The Intermezzo Flute Choir is a high-level intermediate flute ensemble geared towards preparing students for the senior EC Flute Ensemble. EC Flutes is a senior ensemble open to serious and advanced flutists.

ECWO musicians experience a wide breadth of repertoire, ranging from classical transcriptions to modern works just a few years old. As an advanced/intermediate orchestra, students are given thorough instruction on ensemble balance and intonation while experiencing a rigorous challenge of their technical skills.
