Primo & Primo Intermezzo

Primo is EYSOā€™s entry-level string ensemble for string playersĀ (violins, violas, cellos, and basses)Ā in grades 4-8. For many young musicians, this is their first experience in orchestral playing. To facilitate this tremendous new experience, Primo musicians focus is on accessible repertoire, developing facility in sight-reading, advancing their string technique and scales, and learning audition skills. With both string orchestra repertoire and two/three part pieces, Primo students learn to be independent members of a unified ensemble.

Primo Intermezzo is a small group of more experienced Primo members selected by invitation. Intermezzo musicians are members of Primo with all that entails, and they also rehearse an additional half-hour in smaller, more exposed repertoire.

Primo & Primo Intermezzo are led byĀ TracyĀ Dullea.Ā
