Welcome

Hello, and welcome to the official website of the CAVMS Orchestras.

EXCITING CHANGES FOR SEPTEMBER 2010
We are always striving to improve the way in which we work and help to develop young musicians and to this end we are changing the structure of the CAVMS ensembles. The very successful Senior Orchestra will continue unchanged with it's great mix of classical and popular repertoire. To better serve the needs of the younger players, we are splitting YPTO into two groups.


The CAVMS Wind Band will give young Wind, Brass and Percussion players the perfect opportunity to develop their ensemble skills with repertoire especially tailored to their needs.


“Only Strings Aloud” is the ideal ensemble for the developing String player. “Only Strings Aloud” prepares students for the CAVMS orchestra by introducing ensemble playing, developing listening and having fun at the same time. Open to all string players from beginners (open strings) up to grade 4.
 

The concept behind the orchestras is a partnership between the very best in music educationists and professional musicians. The orchestras and other ensembles are run weekly by a first-class team of instrumental teachers, involving the widest possible repertoire available.
