Summer Strings Workshop 2025 Participants
The WCYO Summer Strings Workshop 2025 is over already!
But we're looking forward to our 2026 season and hope to see you there!
Our goal is to keep our fingers and minds fresh and to try out new string ensemble repertoire.
We hope to include as many WCYO string players as possible, while also recruiting
Intermediate level String Players,
both students and adults.
The workshop will be held at the First Congregational Church
United Church of Christ, Fellowship Hall,
494 E Main St. Hillsboro, OR. 97123.
The sessions will meet weekly, every Tuesday,
5:00 PM - 6:30 PM, June through August.
This year we'll have all evening sessions in order to include as many musicians as possible.

Watch this space to find out what we'll do next summer!
Our Conductor, who will be leading from the chair, has assembled another inspiring summer with an eclectic mix of fun, interesting and challenging pieces to keep us in tip top shape!
It will be fun to investigate an array of works all new to us. All of them will be sure to please as they'll sharpen our present skills and introduce us to some new techniques and processes to achieve an optimum result.
This is our 5th year running the WCYO Summer Strings Workshop and I must say that every year I've thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much more than I thought possible during the lazy days of summer. I'm looking forward to another fun and informative season with friends and colleagues!
I sincerely hope you'll join us!
I can promise you won't regret it!
Sue Mehess, WCYO Librarian and Violinist
