2024-2025 season COMMITMENT

This upcoming season marks our 30th year playing music together! Help us plan well by completing this member survey. As a reminder, the commitment expectation is that musicians will miss no more than 2 rehearsals per concert without prior discussion with the music director and section leader as appropriate. If this will be an issue for you, please reach out so we can discuss options. More information on musician commitment can be found on the Audition page of our website. Please email Rob at info@calvincommunitysymphony.org with any questions. Season details are as follows:
