CHAMBER MUSIC CAMP

Chamber Music: the most sought-after, gold-standard genre of classical music, otherwise known as the Art of Collaboration. It is learned only by direct experience with peers.

Taught by faculty members Sam Rudy (violin/viola, co-founder Lux String Quartet, Oskaloosa Music Festival, and member of the Quad City Symphony) and Rachel Williams (cello/piano, principal cello of Minnetonka Symphony, Spring Lake Park School District, and Valley Presbyterian Church), local student musicians will experience the joy this art form has to offer over a week of rehearsals, coachings, masterclasses, and a final performance.

Rather than spending rehearsal time learning one's own part, this camp teaches its musicians how others' parts go and how to fit with them. Students will be expected to have excellent preparation before camp begins.

Chamber Music's skill-set includes listening, responding, preparing, focusing, polishing, conversing, performing, experimenting, improvising, and learning; in total, the Musicality of Collaboration.

Recommended for intermediate and advanced string students and/or advanced wind and keyboard students; pre-formed groups welcomed but not required.
