Chamber Music Institute

International Program for Advanced String Players and Pianists

July 20–August 14

Open to advanced conservatory–level pianists, violinists, violists, cellists, and preformed string quartets and piano trios, ages eighteen to twenty-nine.

The 2010 International Program offers a select number of outstanding and highly motivated musicians a multitude of opportunities to develop their technical and interpretive skills under the tutelage of world-class chamber music coaches and educators. The International Program involves a rigorous schedule of rehearsals, coachings, and master classes, culminating in multiple performance opportunities, and also includes collaborations with leading musicologists in the presentation of the festival’s Encounter series.

International Program students are chosen by application and audition to work on a daily basis with the festival’s renowned artist-faculty in an intensive exploration of the chamber music repertoire and participate in a variety of seminars focusing on the issues and questions facing today’s young musicians.

Tuition: Full fellowship, including housing. (Housing is provided by host families and is offered only to participants in the International Program.)
