Find your groove for performing by joining an instrumental ensemble at CLC. Experience the magic of making music alongside your peers and fellow music enthusiasts. Be part of something bigger.

When you participate in ensembles, you learn by observing, working with and emulating group artists. Explore a wide variety of for-credit and non-credit instrumental group options, depending on your focus and goals.

Elevate your musical comprehension and stage presence while you feel your confidence soar. At CLC, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to toot your own horn at one of our many music and art events.
