Meet and Greet

We are committed to doing as much as we can to reduce financial barriers to participating in our programs and events.  For our 2025-26 Season, we are offering student bursaries on a limited basis to offset tuition fees. The bursary application form will be made available shortly.

  • Read the PDF titled 'Instructions' (violin/viola only)

  • Recordings may need to be downloaded to play. Not all browsers support these file types.

  • Candidates should carefully consider their commitment priorities as other activities may conflict with scheduled NSCE activities. These conflicts must be worked out prior to joining the group. At the audition, candidates will be asked to identify any possible conflicts.

  • Parents are required to provide transportation to and from all public performances. As well, they are responsible for ensuring that their child is prepared for each public performance and attired according to the dress code for their child’s group. Please do not underestimate this commitment... we have many performances in Vancouver and area to which you will need to drive your musicians!
