The Chamber Music Program is designed for Music Performance majors and minors, offering a focused and enriching experience in smaller instrumental ensembles. This program provides a unique platform for students to develop vital chamber music skills while exploring diverse repertoire.
Chamber music builds essential skills: communication, precision, adaptability, and artistry. You’ll rehearse closely with peers, receive coaching from faculty, and perform music that stretches your technique and imagination.
Rehearsals are scheduled each semester after ensembles are formed. Ensembles rehearse on their own at least once per week and participate in scheduled coaching sessions.
The program features performances by various chamber groups, such as brass quintets, woodwind quintets, saxophone quartets, and mixed ensembles. Visiting guests occasionally offer lectures and workshops to enhance students' learning experiences.
