ABOUT
The Chamber Music Academy program, led by the Garneau String Quartet, gives students the opportunity to work with Robert Uchida, Laura Veeze, Keith Hamm, and Julie Hereish.
This is a full-year program where young artists receive coaching from all members of the quartet. They will also have the opportunity to work with guest artists, attend the Garneau String Quartet Concerts, and gain performance experience in performance classes and recitals.
All experienced chamber musicians and orchestral leaders, the faculty looks forward to sharing their passion for ensemble playing. The young artists will experience the joy and fun of playing with others in a small group, while becoming familiar with some of the best music ever written.
If enrollment is high, we may need to adjust the times to accommodate additional chamber music groups. We will ask for your input before any time-changes are made.
