Young Chamber Players

The Second City Chamber Series provides high school-aged musicians interested in the performance of chamber music--and who qualify by audition--the opportunity to participate in the Young Chamber Players. The program is made possible through the generous support of the E. K. and Lillian Bishop Foundation.

The Young Chamber Players is directed by pianist Amy Grinsteiner. For more information about the program, please contact Ms. Grinsteiner.

As the season unfolds, the students study and rehearse chamber music together, receive coaching from Second City Chamber Series artists and, mid-year, demonstrate their accomplishments with a concert held at the First Lutheran Church in Tacoma.

Young Chamber Players participants may participate as existing ensembles or may be assigned to new ensembles appropriate to their number and instrumental mix, or both.

Participants will receive:

  Ten (10) or more coaching sessions on the preparation and performance of selected chamber music repertoire by coaches drawn from the roster of outstanding Second City Chamber Series musicians (traditionally on Fridays), plus an organizational meeting and dress rehearsal.

  Instruction and insight on the unique challenges and rewards of chamber music performance, methods of individual practice and preparation, ensemble rehearsal techniques, selection and programming of repertoire and solutions to common performance problems, including performance anxiety.

  A season ticket for Second City Chamber Series concerts throughout the year, plus opportunities to observe rehearsals of the professional SCCS ensembles.

  A Second City Chamber Series "Spotlight Concert" featuring the YCP ensembles.
