About
Triad Chamber Music Society’s Young Performers Workshop is an intensive program for young instrumentalists who are interested in learning and performing major chamber music repertoire. Participants are grouped into chamber ensembles according to level; the ensembles will rehearse and receive coaching from a distinguished faculty in six sessions over a two-week period. Students gain valuable performing experience while developing musicianship skills which go “beyond the notes” -- the listening, analytical and diplomatic abilities necessary for chamber music collaboration.
In addition, students will participate in an Alexander Technique seminar in which a certified instructor will demonstrate habits of the human body and provide methods for improving freedom of movement that is beneficial to instrumental playing.
The program will culminate in a public performance at the Weatherspoon Art Museum in Greensboro on December 17, 2009.
Goals
- Students engage in collaborative playing and improve rehearsal techniques.
- Students learn major works in the chamber music repertory.
