CHAMBERSTRINGS Summer Music Workshop is dedicated to introducing students to the art and performance of chamber music and is open to players of violin, viola, cello and bass (bassists participate in orchestra only).  Designed for ages 8-18, each student is assigned to a chamber group, and will work with a faculty member for one morning session and one afternoon session each day.  The students will also perform in a side-by-side student/faculty string orchestra. 

Each chamber piece and chamber group is matched to a student’s individual level.  Students will also have the opportunity to hear faculty perform at short lunchtime concerts, and will study rhythm and solfege in the mornings.

The workshop will conclude with a  joint student faculty concert, featuring each student group as well as faculty chamber ensembles.  The concert will also feature a performance of the student/faculty joint orchestra.
