What IS Con Vivo?- Con Vivo is our chamber music program. That means it's made of small ensembles, like quartets, quintets, and trios. It's usually a group that you do in addition to your regular ensemble since it's less time-intensive, but you can participate in just Con Vivo.
How often do they meet?- This year you'll have 8 weeks of rehearsal per semester (1 hour each week), with your group and a coach. Since it's such a small group, it's easier to work together to pick a rehearsal time that works for everyone. Additionally, rehearsals may take place at the SFYSA office, or at a different venue if it's more comfortable or appropriate for the given ensemble. You will get to perform on the concert series each semester!
What makes it different from orchestra/symphony?- Since the group is so small, you get much more one-on-one attention, and your part becomes much more valuable. You're the only one playing your part, so it's a perfect place to practice your leadership skills! (Participation in a chamber ensemble is a great thing to put on a resume!)
What groups will there be this year?- See below.
(These are subject to change according to students who are interested and register in this program.)

This will of course have a pianist, but could include a variety of other instruments. If there are enough people interested, this could be a quartet or quintet.
Do I need to audition?- The only students who need to audition are those not currently in an orchestra/symphony. Therefore, if you have a friend you'd like to join you in Con Vivo, they'll need to audition in August.
How do I join?- For participation this Fall of 2022, please send us an email to let us know you're interested. We'll start building ensembles, and place you in a group that will play music of a similar level. When registration opens (July 1st) you'll sign up for it just like any other ensemble.
We're expecting at least these 5 groups, but if there's sufficient interest, we'll create another one!
