PROVIDENCE
ADULT
STRING
ENSEMBLE
... an independent, adult community organization
WELCOME

The Providence Adult String Ensemble, (PASE) provides a safe encouraging,  yet challenging environment for adult amateur string players to progress.

Our goals include becoming more aware of the role each player contributes in an ensemble, to become more aware concertgoer's, to learn more about music and how it is put together, to become better ensemble members, and to enjoy music more because of all this awareness.

Consider joining us for one or more of our semesters. Each semester we take on a new set of music, with difficulties that will challenge you, but never overwhelm you. We even let you challenge yourself by participating in our solo opportunities, which started in our summer of 2002 semester, a chance to be a soloist in one movement with our group on our soloist’s piece for a rehearsal.


CHAMBER ENSEMBLE
Rehearsals are at different locations in the Providence area, occurring either on Sunday or Monday evenings, as time allows.
The groups receive three coaching sessions, and are expected to rehearse independently three additional times during the month.
The final weekend there is a performance, typically at Goff Memorial Hall in Rehoboth, at the Blanding Public Library.


SPRING SEMESTER
10 rehearsals, plus concert at various locations through-out the Greater Providence area.
This semester typically has an overture, a string symphony or suite, and often includes a soloist, with chances for individuals to play through a movement of the solo work.
SUMMER SEMESTER
8 rehearsals, plus concert at various locations through-out the Greater Providence area. This semester is more laid-back in terms of programming, often with a chamber music focus. There is typically a suite and several string sonatas on a program.
FALL SEMESTER
10 rehearsals, plus concert at various locations through-out the Greater Providence area.
Typically, this semester includes an overture, a string symphony or suite, a contemporary piece, and occasionally a choral piece, with a local chorus featured.
