HONORS CHAMBER MUSIC: This special class is open by audition to pianists, string and wind players who are more advanced than their age and grade level. You will be coached by our Honors Faculty - made up of UM Frost School of Music professors, selected Frost Graduate students, and artists who love to work with exceptional young musicians. Once you are accepted, you will receive your chamber music piece. You are expected to arrive at camp with your part already learned. (your private music teacher at home can help you!) Each chamber music group will perform in our special Honors Chamber Music Final Concert where you will also receive a certificate of participation, signed by your Honors professors. |
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR AUDITION FOR THE HONORS ENSEMBLE
