The 2024 Fall Semester Runs Monday, September 9th – Saturday, December 7th, 2024.
Small ensembles and chamber groups are a great way to get students playing together and provide additional performing opportunities outside of private lessons. All ensembles operate on a semester schedule. Our Fall semester runs September through December, Spring semester runs January through April, and Summer runs June through August.
The 2024 Fall Semester for ensembles begins Monday, September 9th, 2024 and ends on Saturday, December 7th, 2024. Ensembles rehearse once a week with a concert planned at the end of the semester on Saturday, December 7th, 2024 at 2:00 PM at Blue Ridge Community College in Flat Rock with the Hendersonville Symphony Youth Orchestra.
