The sessions will be held Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m. The Chorus Masterclass is scheduled for Oct. 4, while the Band and Orchestra Masterclasses will be held Oct. 18.

CVSM will also offer Band and Orchestra Mock Auditions on Nov. 15. Students will perform their prepared district band piece and receive individual feedback from faculty. Exact audition times will be assigned closer to the date based on enrollment.
