ASAP! YOUTH ENSEMBLE

GRADES 5-12 • JAMES & KRYSTYANA CZEINER, KAITLIN CLARK, AND ALISSA MONTELEONE

Youth Ensemble participants play violin and viola.

The ASAP! Youth Ensemble brings together a community of young musicians from northwest CT to refine their orchestral abilities, engage in creative composition, attend a field trip, and gear up for a performance.

The Youth Ensemble is led by teaching artists James and Krystyana Czeiner, both accomplished musicians, Juilliard alumni, and Grammy recipients. This vibrant duo steer an enriching and challenging musical experience where students enhance their understanding and love for orchestral works and increase their skills through innovative techniques. Along the way, students have the opportunity to connect with peers through a fun painting project, see an exciting orchestral performance by the NYC Pops at Carnegie Hall, and perform for friends, family, and the public.
