Audition Packages

If you're new to the Celtic Ensemble and interested in joining one of our programs but not sure what level is right for you, that's okay! Arrange your Meet & Greet, rehearsal visit or an audition by emailing us at info@celticensemble.ca. Auditions are only required for our Junior and Senior Ensembles.

Meet and Greet

We are committed to doing as much as we can to reduce financial barriers to participating in our programs and events.  For our 2024-25 Season, we are offering student bursaries on a limited basis to offset tuition fees.  Complete this form if you would like to apply for a bursary.  Please note limited funds are currently available.  Applications are accepted year-round, but the first  assessment will consider applications for the 2024-25 season received prior to Aug 15 2024.

  • Candidates should carefully consider their priorities as other activities may conflict with scheduled NSCE activities. These conflicts must be worked out prior to joining the group. At the audition, candidates will be asked to identify any possible conflicts.

  • Parents are required to provide transportation to and from all public performances. As well, they are responsible for ensuring that their child is prepared for each public performance and attired according to the dress code for their child’s group. Please do not underestimate this commitment... we have many performances in Vancouver and area to which you will need to drive your musicians!
