About Schedule Faculty To Apply

About

Triad Chamber Music Society’s Young Performers’ Workshop is an intensive program for young instrumentalists to study and perform chamber music. Participants will be grouped into small ensembles according to level. The ensembles will rehearse and receive coaching on selected Fridays and Saturdays from October 21 to November 18, 2011 in a compound of private homes in Winston Salem. The Workshop will culminate in a public performance at the Shallowford Presbyterian Church in Lewisville, North Carolina on November 18, 2011.

The workshop is an opportunity for young players to collaborate with their peers with the guidance of expert coaching. In additional to learning a major work in the chamber music repertory, each participant will exercise self-directed rehearsal techniques and apply listening and analytical skills to ensemble playing. Instrumentalists under 23 are eligible to apply. Sample repertoire & pictures from past workshops
