Chamber Music Institute

Young Performers Program for String Players and Pianists

July 23–August 14

Open to intermediate, preconservatory, and early-conservatory-level pianists, violinists, violists, and cellists, ages nine to eighteen.

The Young Performers Program is designed for advanced young musicians seeking to develop their musicianship through intensive training with a faculty of experienced musicians. Students joining the Young Performers Program are grouped into ensembles with their colleagues according to level of playing and experience. A daily schedule of ensemble rehearsals, workshops, and coachings with the artist-faculty culminates in public performance opportunities.

Tuition: $2,700 (includes lunch daily)

Financial aid and scholarships: Available and awarded on the basis of need and merit.

This is a day program only. Participants under eighteen years of age must be chaperoned by a parent or guardian during nonprogram hours. No housing is provided. Music@Menlo assumes no responsibility for securing or recommending housing options for long-distance applicants.
