With the addition of Malin Carta to our staff, Eric Mahl is happy to announce that all symphony orchestra winds, brass, and percussion musicians will again participate in performances with the Wind Ensemble as we head into the fall season. This will provide opportunities for a more expansive program for all SO musicians, giving Eric time to work with the string sections and more performance opportunities for the winds, brass, and percussion musicians. Wind Ensemble musicians can look forward to a more diverse program and both large and small ensemble experiences. Malin will also be coaching the winds section of the Symphony Orchestra throughout the year. So SO musicians, please download the music from the Wind Ensemble member's page and let us know if you have any questions.  

One last note - we are still seeking Percussion, French Horn, Trombone, Bassoon and Oboe musicians - please encourage your friends to audition!  Send them this link to the Audition Guide.

Currently we have 20 new musicians auditioning this week on Wednesday and Thursday and a few on the first night of rehearsal. If you have friends you think would enjoy WCYO - it is not too late to register for an audition. Spread the word!

• New Members Welcome Meeting scheduled via Zoom on Monday, Sept. 12th
• Retreat day drop-off and pick-up added
• Correction to Cello-Day, workshop is on Sunday, not Saturday, Times TBA

Our Fall Concert cycle features some location changes, a retreat, a workshop for cellist, a community performance opportunity and will conclude with a concert on November 20th, the weekend before Thanksgiving break. Note that extra activities (outside of rehearsals and WCYO concerts) are optional but encouraged. We know you are busy yet we believe the extra events will enhance your experience with us. Please do your best to participate.)
