Our internationally celebrated faculty guides serious high school- and college-aged string and piano students through an intensive and inspirational two-week course. Develop ensemble playing skills through the performance and study of the world’s greatest chamber music masterworks! Students participate with at least two chamber groups in daily coached rehearsals, and receive additional instruction in string chamber orchestra or piano duo, master classes, alternative style and improvisation workshops. The workshop includes open faculty rehearsals and a public faculty concert, and culminates with two high-level concerts performed by the students.

Audition by appointment; Crowden will contact prospective students after receipt of registration
