Chamber Music School :

“KNEISEL HALL is heir to a rich tradition.  I extend to young artist a warm invitation to help continue this tradition: to join us for a summer of dedicated and joyous music making.”

Artistic Director Seymour Lipkin

THE CHAMBER MUSIC SCHOOL is a rigorous seven-week chamber music program for fifty international pre-professional young artists (20 violinists, 9 violists, 14 cellists and 7 pianists). The Chamber School 2010 season is June 27th through August 15th.

The summer is divided in two sessions in which each young artist is assigned two pieces. The summer includes rehearsals, coachings, master classes, concerts and performance. Each session concludes with a series of public Young Artist Concerts. The dates for this season are July 17, 19, 20 and August 11,12 , 14, 2010

The small faculty, drawn from major conservatories and universities, work with the young artists. They rehearse each morning, coach ensembles every afternoon and each week present a Festival Concert Friday evening and Sunday afternoon. Grateful to the mentors who helped them when they themselves were students, they feel a deep sense of responsibility toward the young artists and the music.
