July 31-August 4, 2017 Registration begins April 1, 2017 Deadline: Saturday, April 22, 2017 Rebecca Henry and Christian Tremblay, Directors Peabody Chamber Week is a one-week intensive chamber music program for string players in grades 5-12 at the Intermediate to Advanced levels. Advanced chamber groups rehearse four hours per day and have one hour of orchestra. Intermediate groups have two hours each of chamber music and orchestra. Participants are grouped into string quartets, quintets or trios, and assignments and music will be sent by mid-June. While each group works on several pieces, the coach selects one or two on which to focus at a high level. Chamber music coaching focuses on musicianship and effective rehearsal techniques as the groups prepare for the final concert in the Towson Auditorium on the final Friday at 3:00 pm. Designed to educate the total musician, the curriculum combines focused study of a chamber work with the opportunity to explore parallel disciplines. Each year, we invite a guest artist to share his/her expertise in a related musical field. Each faculty member also leads an Enrichment class on the creative topic of his/her choice, and master classes give each ensemble the opportunity to perform and receive feedback prior to the final concert. Audition is required. For more information on Peabody Chamber Week, visit www.peabody.jhu.edu/preparatory/departments/strings/summer/
