Chamber MusicUnder the tutelage of NYSMF’s highly accomplished chamber music faculty, this program provides students with unique opportunities to experience the subtleties, challenges, and rewards of this demanding branch of music.
Chamber Music (Piano & Strings)Discover the wonders of collaboration with your friends and other instruments! Open to students based on their placement audition (individual skills, sight-reading) and availability, an average of four to six ensembles varying from piano trios to quintets will be assigned at least one movement from the standard chamber music repertoire, and will meet for daily rehearsals and coaching per session. This intense course will result in a public performance at the end of each session. Prior experience is desired but not required.

Types and sizes of ensembles vary for different instruments. String players may also be placed in string quartets, brass players may be placed in brass quintets, and so on. All students may participate in chamber ensembles while enrolled in the festival.
