Experience a weekend chamber music workshop which includes rehearsals, daily coachings by professional musicians, and a chamber music masterclass with Eastman School of Music’s George Taylor. We will conclude our weekend with an optional recital in Eastman’s beautiful Hatch Recital Hall. What a great opportunity to meet your musical community!
Open to adult musicians over 18 of intermediate-advanced levels who play stringed instruments (including advanced piano), woodwinds, or brass. Please note that any brass or woodwinds plays must register in pre-formed groups (with a registration form for each member). String players are encouraged also to register in pre-formed groups, but they may register individually and be placed in a group. All applicants must be approved by the director in order to be fully registered. To facilitate this, all new groups/applicants must submit a short recording to the director when they submit their registration form. Anyone unsure of their level can contact the director to help determine it: Robertazalkind@gmail.com. Individuals or groups who have previously participated in the program do not need to submit recordings.
Applicants will receive the music well ahead of the start of the workshop to aid in their preparation.
Performance: Sunday July 27, 2025 / 5:00pm / Hatch Recital Hall
