Chamber Music Summer Intensive

Fischoff ‘s Summer Chamber Music Intensive, in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame, supports young musicians as they dive deeply into the world of chamber music. Students will work intimately in small ensembles to strengthen both performance and life skills such as collaboration, communication, leadership, respect, and creative problem-solving through chamber music.

The program is open to students entering grade 6 and above who are intermediate to advanced players of strings, brass, winds, and piano. Enrollment is limited, ensuring that each participant receives a personalized experience in a collegial atmosphere. Students will be grouped into trios, quartets, and quintets based upon their proficiency. They will work closely with Fischoff’s quartet-in-residence and professional musicians in a variety of settings, including chamber music coaching sessions, masterclasses, workshops, solo and ensemble performances, and community engagement opportunities. Students receive free admission to all faculty concerts, and the program finale will be a capstone performance of all participating ensembles in the LaBar Recital Hall at the University of Notre Dame’s O’Neill Hall of Music.
