Summer Internship

Mentor & Chamber Music

GSYO is currently seeking string and woodwind players to join us as interns for our Summer Conservatory.

Each intern will be playing in a chamber music group with other interns, mentoring younger musicians, and assisting faculty.

Description: Mentors from GSYO Senior Symphony and Camilla Kolchinsky Orchestra will assist at the Summer Conservatory by playing in ensembles with the young musicians, helping supervise games or small groups, and helping with musicianship or theory lessons. Must have a positive attitude and like working with kids. There will be time to rehearse independently with your chamber group, and you will receive coaching from GSYO faculty.

When: Weekdays from July 10-21, 2023 with a concert on the evening of July 21.

Location: Union Presbyterian Church, 858 University Ave, Los Altos.

Mentors may apply as a pre-formed chamber group, or we can place mentors with other musicians.
