Summer Chamber Music Workshop

"Beyond the Notes" at Carolina!

an intensive String Chamber Music Workshop

June 3-8, 2012

 

Join string USC string faculty for a five-day intensive chamber music workshop. The focus will be on developing musicianship skills which go "beyond the notes" - the listening, rhythmic and ensemble skills that go into making chamber music. Students will study appropriately assigned repertoire in detail with faculty members in small chamber ensembles and together in a chamber orchestra, culminating in a performance on June 10.

Each day will be divided between chamber music coachings, rehearsals, master classes, chamber orchestra and private lessons. We'll also have a jazz strings session with faculty Bert Ligon, director of Jazz Studies at USC.

The workshop is open to high school, and college students.
