Join us for the 2026 Sartory String Quartet Institute!
Students at this 5-day Institute are placed in chamber ensembles with other students of similar age and proficiency. All ensembles receive daily coachings in preparation for a recital performance at the end of the Institute. In addition to these small ensembles, students play together in a chamber orchestra and experience what it’s like to perform in a larger group without a conductor.
The final performances will be held on Friday, July 10, at 2:00pm, with any additional performances TBA.
This is an audition-based camp. In order to attend the camp, all students must audition through recorded video auditions and be accepted into the camp. Please record all three audition requirements (scale, piece and excerpts) in three separate files.
