Chamber Music Camp

Deepen your musicianship, refine your performance skills, and bring great chamber music to life alongside fellow musicians and accomplished faculty.

Open to instrumentalists of varied skill levels, this one-week program offers an immersive chamber music experience built around coaching, rehearsal, performance, and collaboration. You can register in one of two tracks. In the New Horizons track, you send us a short recording in the spring and we place you in an ensemble with assigned repertoire before camp, so you arrive knowing what you will play and with whom. In the Polestar track, you attend with your existing chamber group.

All ensembles work with faculty coaches throughout the week on their assigned works, developing musical interpretation, ensemble skills, and performance technique. Polestar groups should bring one to two works they would like to refine and receive feedback on from our acclaimed faculty.

The program includes:

• Chamber music rehearsals and coaching
• Master classes
• Lectures and conversations
• Participant performances
• Large conducted reading ensembles

You’ll also have the opportunity to attend the Chamber Concert Series, with daily performances by our professional quartet-in-residence and faculty members from leading university music programs. 

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your ensemble playing, explore new repertoire, or take your existing group to the next level, this program gives you the time, guidance, and musical community to do it.
