A Community String Ensemble
Media’s Merry Musicians Ensemble invites you to come join us! This joyful ensemble grew out of Amber Lee Casper’s private students’ desire to connect with other musicians here in Media. 2026 will be our third year, and we are excited to welcome even more of our neighbors to come play with us!
Our repertoire is curated by Mrs. Casper and draws from classical, traditional folk, medieval, and American folk genres (requests welcome!). We meet at the Media-Upper Providence Free Library every other month on a Saturday from 11am-12:30pm. Over the course of the year, we will hold seven rehearsals and hope to perform at one or two community events in Media as opportunities arise. We are not a professional ensemble—rather, we are Media's Merry Musicians: your neighbors and friends who simply believe that playing music together as a community matters.
We are graciously sponsored by the Media-Upper Providence Free Library, whose support allows us to expand our reach and welcome more participants from Media and the surrounding area. It’s completely free to join! Our ensemble is open to adults and youth (ages 12+) accompanied by a parent or guardian. We are especially looking for violin, viola, cello, bass, guitar, accordion, and harp—but all instruments are welcome!
If you’re feeling unsure about the level, our repertoire is listed in a PDF below. Our rehearsals are also open to the public, so come listen and say hello! We choose music that is beautiful, approachable, and enjoyable for a variety of players. I would be grateful to hear from you or answer any questions! Please email Amber Casper at [email protected]
It's normal to feel a little shy when trying something new--we all do! But don't let that stop you from meeting your community and sharing in the joy of making music. We are blessed to have such a warm community here in Media. Let us rejoice and make a "joyful noise" together!
