Chamber Groups: You will be placed into chamber ensembles according to your playing level. (Pre-formed ensembles are welcome. Just inform us of the members in your group.) You will rehearse and receive coaching daily, and will have an opportunity to participate in a masterclass and possibly perform at the end of the camp. Foundations and Basic Track participants will recieve small group instruction tailored to their level rather than chamber groups.

General Track participants have a few other options to choose from besides traditional chamber groups:

Sectionals: If you prefer more time on the orchestra music, you may opt to sign up for orchestra sectionals (practice sessions by section) instead of a chamber group.

NEW! Groove Ensemble: Small ensembles for both General and Performance Track participants. Select in lieu of chamber group or sectionals. In 2009 it was led by Robert Gardner and Kyle Bultman. The groove ensemble is a creative ensemble in which we’ll explore the possibilities of a few groove-based styles, such as contemporary fiddle, baroque, rock, & jazz. We’ll do some improvising (no experience necessary), reading, listening, and playing by ear. Get your musical creative juices flowing, and have a great time in the process!
