YCE Rehearsals
Regular and punctual attendance at all rehearsals is appreciated by all members of our ensemble. This ensures a satisfying and productive experience for all participating musicians.
String players are expected to attend all Tuesday night rehearsals (7:15-9:30pm) and concert day (usually 4-6pm). Brass/wind/percussion players are expected to attend the last 3 Tuesday rehearsals and concert day. If you are unable to attend any rehearsals, please contact us at info@yorkchamberensemble.ca. Brass/wind/percussion players are expected to send a sub if unable to attend a rehearsal.
YCE Inclement Weather Policy
In the case of inclement weather and cancellation of a rehearsal is necessary, an email will be sent. A decision will be made by 6pm. Please check your email before heading to rehearsal if the weather is bad.
