Dr.
Ciabattari received a B.S.E. in music education from the University of
Arkansas, M.M. in tuba performance from the Cleveland Institute of
Music, and Ph.D. in music education from Case Western Reserve
University. The WSYO is intended for high school students. However, local college students who do not have access to a school orchestra are also invited to audition. Younger students are also invited to audition and may be accepted based on their teachers’ recommendations and WSYO need. It is expected that WSYO members will also be active participants in their schools’ music programs. Tuition is $85 for the year (recommended), or $45 per semester (fall concert + January or January + winter concert) if extenuating circumstances prevent full-year participation. SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE! Contact Becky Ciabattari at rciab @ williamsportsymphony.org for more information. |
