Join us for this weeklong camp as a part of Hochstein’s Chamber Music Connections program! Students of similar ages and abilities will be placed in a trio, quartet, or quintet and also take part in a larger chamber orchestra. Camp will include daily coachings, presentations on special topics, and a masterclass by a special guest artist. Coachings and workshops/activities will be customized based on the playing level and prior experience of the students. Elementary and intermediate students who are new to chamber music will have fun learning basic ensemble playing skills while also receiving support on instrument technique. More advanced and experienced students will work on refining their collaborative playing skills while exploring challenging and exciting repertoire. Chamber ensembles will be determined and music assigned prior to the start of camp.
NOTE: All students should submit a short video with their application, to be used for ensemble placement and consideration for a masterclass for the afternoon group. Video submission links (Youtube, Vimeo, or Google Drive preferred) should be sent to the directors at SummerCMC@hochstein.org.The deadline for registration and placement videos is Wednesday, July 1, 2026. Inquiries received after the deadline will be considered on a "space available" basis.
Camp will conclude with a performance on Friday, August 7th at 2 pm.
