Chamber music offers students a unique musical experience that differs from both solo performance and large ensemble playing. Because every musician has an independent part and an essential role in the ensemble, students develop stronger skills in listening, communication, leadership, and collaboration. This year, with Jennifer’s background in orchestration and arranging, a few ensembles will also perform carefully adapted repertoire tailored to their instrumentation and skill levels, allowing each group to experience music that is both artistically rewarding and educationally meaningful.
Special guests this year include The Highland String Quartet, Brawlin’ with Tchaikovsky, Julie Deters, and Christian Eggert Violins. From interactive guidance from local musicians with Quartet expertise, giant Jenga fun, specialized yoga practices for players, and first-hand knowledge of instrument care and craftsmanship, students will benefit from this wide spectrum of experiences.
Participants meet in the Twin Ports (Primarily, Duluth) MN over two consecutive weeks in the summer for rehearsals, coaching sessions, a side-by-side performance with the LSCO, and a final recital concert of their own to wrap up the summer program.
Rehearsals and coaching sessions will be held Mon., Weds., and Fri. from June 29- July 10. These will be led by faculty artists from the Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra (LSCO) from 9:20 AM – 3:30 PM.
