CHAMBER CONNECT: A Virtual Chamber Music Camp

In this week-long chamber music experience, campers will collaborate in a virtual ensemble, receive daily coachings, and attend instrument-specific technique classes. Campers will also attend chamber music seminars, like “music and technology” and “incorporating efficient rehearsal techniques.” Special guest artist Annie Fullard, first violinist of the Cavani String Quartet, will present a masterclass and seminar one day during the week. Camp will culminate in an online virtual recital featuring our campers. This camp is open to string musicians in the intermediate to advanced levels.

A laptop, tablet, or desktop that has a reliable internet connection (ethernet connection recommended)

Access to the video platform Zoom (Camp director will specify if another platform is necessary.)
