Jasmyn Kosier makes the UW-Whitewater Chamber Orchestra

2017 Jan 20

Jasmyn Kosier from Milwaukee, Wis., who is studying music at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, has earned a spot in the campus's Chamber Orchestra.

To be a part of the group requires concurrent participation in the Symphony Orchestra. Students go through an audition process where they prepare a solo repertoire. The Chamber Orchestra is open to students of all majors.

"These ensembles both focus on skills and team building - how to listen to others, and learning when you are playing a supporting role vs. when to be a leader," said Christopher Ramaekers, assistant professor of music.

Students will also learn about music history and theory and how those skills relate to the pieces that are played. The Chamber Orchestra performs a regular season concert each year where members perform masterworks from the standard orchestral repertoire as well as contemporary modern pieces.

The next performance date for the orchestras is Friday, March 10, at 7:30 p.m. at Light Recital Hall in the Greenhill Center of the Arts: https://tickets.uww.edu
