Michigan Youth Ensembles give students the opportunity to work with notable conductors, rehearse in a university setting, and receive coaching from University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance faculty and students. A musicianship course is offered for those students interested in majoring in music.  This year’s program offerings also include a Harp Ensemble.

Participants are also afforded the opportunity to audition for scholarships to the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance and its affiliated summer programs.
