MCE does not have a set roster of musicians. Musicians who pass the audition will be put on a master list and may receive an invitation to play with the ensemble 6 weeks before a concert.  If you cannot play when asked, don't worry, you may be invited the next time. 

MCE rehearses the week prior to a concert: 4 or 5 rehearsals lasting 2.5 to 3 hours and a competitive stipend is offered.
