INSTRUMENTAL > Chamber Music
June 23 - August 14, 2012

In 2012, Chamber Music is scheduled for all sections of the orchestra in two distinct phases. The first phase is with faculty coaches between weeks 2 to 4, and the second phase is with guest coaches and different repertoire between weeks 5 to 6. At the end of each phase every group will perform at least part of the studied repertoire on a public recital.

The New Arts Trio, the Audubon Quartet and the Chautauqua Wind Quintet are scheduled to be in residence for an intensive chamber music program for strings and winds. Arie Lipsky, chair, chamber music, together with Nicola Melville, Piano Department, will coordinate collaborative instrumental, vocal and piano chamber music. A few weeks prior to the start of the program, the piano Chair will assign repertoire, and photocopies of the music will be sent out; students are expected to arrive at the festival ready to rehearse their chamber music piece.

Note: Special performing, coaching and financial opportunities exist for pre-formed string quartets that enroll. All woodwind and horn students must come to the festival prepared to play the Nielsen Wind Quintet, Hindemith Wind Quintet and Barber’s Summer Music.

"The postive synergy for the arts makes Chautauqua an exciting atmosphere for the soul."
