ABOUT CCSO
Calgary Community String Orchestra is designed for beginner and intermediate adult string players, who have taken a minimum of two to three years of lessons on their instrument
SPRING ENSEMBLES
Do you enjoy playing in small string ensembles or have you always wished you could? Is your Spring missing some String music?
OPEN HOUSE
Have you ever wanted to play in an orchestra? Want to try us on for size? We are excited to host open house play-ins at Central Memorial High School between sessions
REHEARSALS
Weekly rehearsals begin each September and January and run for 10 weeks. The final week is a concert. We welcome violin, viola, cello, and double bass players. Registration opens in September, 2023, for the Fall session
CONCERTS
At the end of every rehearsal session (Fall and Winter) CCSO will put on a performance for friends and family!
ABOUT THE DIRECTORS
CCSO grew from Cellist, Anne Scott’s wish to have an ensemble opportunity for her adult string students. CCSO was born in 2009 and started with 18 students. We presently have over 35 students with our current director/conductor, Katrina Greenbow
REPERTOIRE
At CCSO we play a variety of orchestral arrangements including Baroque, Classical, and Contemporary. No matter what style of music you love to play, CCSO will not disappoint!
