2026 Holiday Session

PCYO 2026 Holiday Session: November 30 to December 18

This year's Holiday Session runs November 30 to December 18, 2026. Each group meets for three classes or rehearsals on a condensed version of its regular schedule. Sound Sprouts meets in Port Angeles; every other group meets in Sequim, and Port Angeles students are welcome to join them there. Sound Sprouts is open to everyone. The other groups are for students who already have the skills for their group, whether from our classes, school orchestra or lessons; they are not open to brand-new beginners.
