Chamber Music Institute

Young Performers Program for String Players and Pianists

July 17–August 8

Open to intermediate, preconservatory, and early conservatory–level pianists, violinists, violists, and cellists, ages 9–18.

The Young Performers Program is designed for gifted 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.
