Summer Chamber Music Workshop
July 16-19, 2026
The program offers an opportunity for string players (violin, viola, and cello), ages 15 and up to play chamber music in a relaxed setting.
Faculty members, violinists Joana Genova (Williams College, The Indianapolis Quartet) and Heather Braun (Boston University, Arneis Quartet), violist Ariel Rudiakov (Bennington College, Danbury Symphony Orchestra) and cellist Liam Veuve (United Nations International School) bring their extensive experience to the coaching sessions and a lunch time concert.
The daily sessions include coachings and a masterclass. Lessons are available at the discretion of the faculty at no additional cost, schedule permitting.
The workshop will conclude with an informal participants’ concert.
Our Chamber Music Intensive is made possible, in part, through the support of Associated Chamber Music Players (ACMP), an international service organization supporting chamber music for pleasure.
Join ACMP – Membership is FREE!
