This is your backstage pass to the world of chamber music!

Between two fun and focused sessions, we're going to pull back the curtain on how a small ensemble actually works—not just on stage, but behind the scenes. Whether you're a musician, a student, or just love music, you'll get an up-close look at the tough choices, deep connections, and collaboration secrets that turn a group of individuals into a tight-knit musical machine.

Forget the formal concert setting; we're diving into the real mechanics of professional chamber performance! We will explore the inner workings of chamber music ensembles. Through two classroom sessions, students will examine how ensembles select repertoire, the process of leading without a conductor ("who's the boss?"), and the rehearsal process of a specific musical movement.

This course is designed to leave you with not only an understanding of chamber music literature but a profound appreciation for the dedication, collaboration, and artistry required to bring it to life.
