Summer Chamber Fest

The Summer Chamber Fest is a week long program consisting of daily chamber music coachings, Dalcroze Eurhythmics, Voice Exploration, music theory/history, chamber practice and master classes with guest clinicians and Preucil faculty. String students participate in a chamber orchestra and piano students are scheduled for an early keyboard class. Violinists may take the “Viola for Violinists Class,” exploring the viola, its clef and the instrument in general. A final concert caps off the week. Entrance requirements are the same as the Winter Chamber Program. Funding is made possible through the Amateur Chamber Music Players Foundation.

High school piano and string students, who wish to focus on chamber music, may elect the partial day program which includes chamber coachings, master class performance and the final performance. High school violin students may also enroll in the "Viola for Violinists Class."

Chamber Music

Defined as one player per part, the genre of Chamber Music can range from as small as a duo to as large as an octet. Its intimate form develops teamwork as players collaborate both musically and socially. Students learn such life skills as problem solving in this democratic process of making music together. The enjoyment of playing chamber music lasts a life time!

The facets of the Preucil Chamber Music Program include: Winter Chamber Program, Velay Certificate Chamber Program, Established Ensembles and Summer Chamber Fest. Additional chamber opportunities are offered at the String Retreat weekend, Cello Chamber Days, and special events such as the Haydn Slam and guest chamber music master classes.

The various chamber offerings are partially funded by a grant from the Amateur Chamber Music Players and its Clinton B. Ford Foundation of its ACMP Foundation.
