intermezzo orchestra

Michael Coelho conducts the Intermezzo Orchestra. Weekly rehearsals are held on Mondays from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm at Masconomet High School. Intermezzo string players rehearse from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm with orchestral winds, brass, and percussionists joining from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Musicians in this level orchestra are generally in middle school through 10th grade.

The winds, brass, and percussion in Intermezzo Orchestra are also members of the Wind Ensemble.  They rehearse from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. with Intermezzo Orchestra and join the Wind Ensemble from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. During January and February, the Intermezzo winds, brass, and percussion rehearse with Intermezzo from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm and join Wind Ensemble from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

During the spring semester, Intermezzo musicians work collaboratively with NMYO’s Conductor-in-Residence, Robert Bradshaw, to compose and perform a new piece of music which is premiered at the May concert.

The Intermezzo Orchestra performs four concerts each year. In addition to the major concerts in December and May, they perform in the Thanksgiving outreach concert benefitting the Ipswich food pantry and a spring outreach concert for senior citizens.

All Intermezzo musicians have the opportunity to audition in mid-October for an opportunity to perform a solo piece at the Thanksgiving Basket Benefit Concert in November.

In addition, Intermezzo string musicians have the opportunity to audition in mid-October for NMYO’s Chamber Music Program. Those selected form a small chamber ensemble and rehearse in January and February from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The program culminates with a chamber music concert in March. Read more about the Chamber Music Program here.
