Summer Chamber Music Workshop

With equal focus on rigorous instruction and supportive community, the Summer Chamber Music Workshop which begins June 15, 2016, has fostered musical growth since its founding in 1971. Director Lenny Matczynski, the Apple Hill String Quartet and renowned faculty coach musicians of all ages, levels, and cultures who are placed in chamber groups by ability rather than age. The summer program is divided into five 10-day sessions, with each session attended by 60 participants ranging in age from 12 to 90. Each student is assigned two chamber groups per session. Apple Hill believes in honoring the special voice in all musicians. We coach, encourage, and applaud all groups equally, from high level ensembles to those with participants who are just starting to play chamber music. Our goal is to use the tools of coaching and performance to build confidence and ability in each student.
