Welcome to the 2016-2017 Season
The CVYS 2016-2017 performance season will begin very soon, and what an exciting season it promises to be!
All CVYS Musicians and parents should plan to attend a meeting on September 6, 2016 at 6:00 pm in the Haas Fine Arts Building on the UWEC campus. Please watch your email for important communication regarding the upcoming season.
CVYS Musicians: Chair placement auditions will take place on September 6, 2016. You will play a selected piece for our music staff, which will be evaluated to determine chair placement for the first semester. Please download the piece for your instrument and practice it for your chair placement audition on Septemebr 6.
We look forward to seeing everyone on September 6th to kick off our 36th performance season!
Nationwide Summer Music Camps
It's not too early to condsider your plans for the summer! If you are thinking about attending a music camp, have a look at this link for some ideas!
Specifically, we'd like to draw your attention to the Summer Music Clinics at UW Madison, advertised on the back of the 'Spring is Coming' concert insert, and the International Music Camp, located on the border between the US and Canada, run by former CVYS Asistant Director Christine Baumann.
We will continue to add information about other music education opportunities as we become aware of them. Please consult the Members Area if you can't find this information on our home page.
