Large Ensembles

All large ensembles rehearse once a week for 30 weeks and perform several concerts throughout the year at NEC. Repertoire is chosen from a variety of periods and styles and is suited to the proficiency level of the participants. Emphasis is on the highest quality of performance and the development of ensemble technique. In recent years, tours (both national and international) have become an integral part of the program for the more advance d orchestras and wind ensembles.

Students are placed through personal auditions (which may be videotaped) held in May. To register for an audition please visit http://necprepauditions.com

Limited auditions are held during fall registration for any unfilled positions. For more information, please call 617-585-1130 after August 15.
