Information Sheet for Instrumental Chamber Ensembles

1. Welcome to Conrad Grebel University College Instrumental Chamber Ensembles.  We are glad to have you join us and hope you realize how valuable you are to this ensemble.  The ensemble you join cannot function without you.  The efforts you put forth will not only benefit you but also the other members of your ensemble.  Audition dates are on Thursday, September 10 from 4:30pm to 6:50pm (CGUC Room 1208) and again on Monday, September 14 from 10:00am till noon (CGUC Room 1209). Bring a paper copy of your class schedule with you please. Please make sure to fill out the participant form first and then you will get a link to the audition dates.
2. Attendance: By joining the ensemble, you are making a commitment to each other. Because rehearsal is really the process of making decisions together as an ensemble, one does not rehearse when missing a member. As such, once we have established a rehearsal schedule at the beginning of the semester for your group, if you must miss a rehearsal, it is up to you to coordinate a different rehearsal time that is suitable for all of the members of the ensemble. 
3. Placement: You will be placed in an ensemble according to your ability, availability, and the balance needed for your choice of instrument. 
4. Concerts:            

             Fall 2026 term:  Sunday, December 6 at 7:30pm in the Chapel.  There will be a dress rehearsal prior to the concert on the same day, starting at 4pm.
