VCM Youth Ensemble
The mission of the VCMYE is to serve the community while providing talented young musicians with the finest musical experience and the opportunity for personal growth and collaboration with other musicians through the training and performance of music at the highest level.
Our training pathway has been created to nurture the musical development of Canada’s young instrumentalists across British Columbia. From the emerging, gifted, school-aged student, to those on the verge of a professional career. VCMYE presents tailored group performance programs each year for aspiring musicians. We aim to inspire our musicians, igniting and sustaining their passion in a fun and vibrant social environment.
Description:
VCM Youth Ensemble is a great experience for violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, singers (choir & solo) & piano players seeking a collaborative experience. The participants will remain in their ensemble throughout the year and prepare for performance opportunities.
Learning chamber music develops confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills while mastering every essential musical skill: pitch, rhythm, and tone. VCM Youth Ensemble focuses on the soundtrack and classical repertoire. Fundamental ensemble skills such as bow techniques for strings, phrasing, musical terms, and creating a collaboration between performers are explored.

Duration: 75 minutes per session, weekly (Sundays from 6 pm to 7:15 pm)
