The WCYO Summer Strings Workshop 2025 is now being planned. 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 potential new WCYO members, 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 once a week, every Tuesday from June through August.
This year we'll have evening sessions in order to include as many musicians as possible.
For more information, complete the registration form below.
There is no cost for registering or attending the workshop.
This is a free workshop and runs all summer!

Dress rehearsals at LHS will need a scheduled 15 minute set up time @ 4:15 PM, otherwise you could be locked out of the building by the time the rehearsal begins @ 4:30 PM; and we’ll need the extra set up time, which may involve choirs in the same room. Please note these time and destination deviations on your calendar.
