String Ensemble
The String Ensemble is the intermediate level ensemble of WYSE. This group is for the more advanced string player and musician, ages ranging from ten to eighteen. Most students have had prior ensemble performance experience.
Chamber Players
The Chamber Players are the most advanced level ensemble for ages thirteen through eighteen. This is the elite group and they perform the most challenging pieces. The more advanced groups are augmented by the addition of wind players for selected pieces, in order to give these string players the experience of performing in a full orchestra setting.
