Youth Ensembles
BAM Youth Ensembles provide challenging and inspiring musical experiences for young & talented musicians.
Lead by acclaimed music educator and orchestra director, Mr. Philip M. Gelfer, and experienced faculty members, students are taught challenging literature, ensemble techniques, performance skills and sight reading. Young musicians discover a new and exciting ensemble experience designed to enhance and supplement school instruction.
Participants will play, make new friends, experience guest conductors/clinicians and have fun! We also regularly attend Music in the Parks competitions.
