In this advanced ensemble course students form several small groups in which they develop and rehearse multiple examples of selected repertoire. Students meet once per week for group instruction and perform for and critique one another. Individual groups spend a minimum of 4 hours per week in unsupervised rehearsal. Students are expected to collaboratively arrange, rehearse and perform assigned material. Besides the in-class performances, there will be at least two public performances of finished work per semester.
