Merit Scholarship Ensembles

Merit Scholarship Ensembles are formed within the Young Artists Academy and are awarded each year, based on merit as demonstrated in the fall semester auditions.

Merit Scholarship Ensemble auditions will return in 2022-2023

Students selected for Merit Scholarship Ensembles (MSE) will be placed in advanced chamber ensembles within the Young Artists Academy and serve as ACMC ambassadors at Synchronism concerts, community outreach, receptions, and other events throughout the year. MSE ensembles are auditioned each fall and musicians are required to commit to both the Fall & Spring semesters of the Young Artists Academy. MSE positions will be re-auditioned each fall. Each MSE musician will be assessed a $120 administration fee for the year.

All instrumentalists are welcome to audition for these merit ensembles. Chamber ensembles will be determined after all auditions have been heard.
