The Walnut Hill Chamber Music program provides intensive training for violinists, violists, and cellists in the art of string ensemble performance. Working with world-renowned performers and teachers, this inspiring program brings together accomplished young string players to form various ensembles. Students spend two weeks on the Walnut Hill campus rehearsing, attending coachings and master classes, and then approximately seven days in France performing at important historic venues in Paris and the surrounding areas. The program also plans to include a day trip and performance at the Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival in Dennis, Massachusetts.
We are currently accepting applications for the 2008 Summer Chamber Music Program. Each applicant must submit an application, a $50.00 application fee, one recommendation, and an audition. All auditions should be submitted via CD/DVD. In special cases, electronic auditions may also be considered.
