2009-2010 CYWE Audition Information
| GENERAL INFORMATION
The Preparatory Department, in cooperation with CCM’s Collegiate Wind Studies program, presents the only area wind ensemble for students in the greater Cincinnati area. CYWE is for musicians in grades nine though twelve who play flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, horn, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, tuba, string bass, and percussion. CYWE is designed to be an enhancing and enriching experience for area high school students; it is not designed to replace students’ experience in their own high school bands. The mission of CYWE is to positively augment students’ band experience, to improve their skills as players and musicians, and to bring together students from diverse musical backgrounds to perform quality wind literature. | MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
The Cincinnati Youth Wind Ensemble rehearses each Sunday evening from 5:30 – 8:30 at the
University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. This time is divided between large
group rehearsals and small group sectionals. Attendance is expected at all rehearsals and concerts.
Concert dates for 2009-2010 are Monday December 7, March 15, and June 7. In addition, CYWE has
been invited to perform at a collaboration concert with the nationally-renowned CCM Wind Symphony
as part of their Spotlight on Excellence series on Wednesday evening, April 28. |
