Ensembles & Performance Groups

Join an Ensemble or Performance Group at MacPhail

MacPhail is committed to offer opportunities to practice and perform in groups ranging from duos to orchestras for students of all levels and abilities. 

Music performance is inherently social and creative. Performers are called to interpret notated music, improvise, adapt to unexpected conditions, and accommodate the occasional error. MacPhail encourages students of all ages to take advantage of the fabulous opportunity to play together.  

Performance ensembles are either open or auditioned. Auditioned performance ensembles and the much-loved Dakota Combo provide outstanding performance opportunities for students and audiences alike. 

For questions about MacPhail ensembles and performance groups, contact the Director of Group Instruction, Jon Iverson or the Jazz Director, Christopher Rochester.
