Chamber music groups rehearse repertoire of the classical tradition from the early baroque to contemporary periods. Groups are open to instrumentalists at an intermediate level and above, and emphasize listening skills, communication, and balance of texture. For students new to ensemble playing, our Dynamic Duos program provides a comfortable first step, pairing students of comparable level, and coordinating shared lesson time in lieu of additional coachings. Chamber music groups and duos perform regularly in both school-wide recitals and designated chamber concerts each semester.

Chamber music placement is based on age and approximate level of players. A short placement audition with the Chamber Music Coordinator is required for new participants.
