Chamber Music Ensembles
for Strings, Winds, and Piano

Details

Duration: 60 minutes

Faculty: Various

Schedule: Various

Chamber Music at BMS is a compliment to private instrumental lessons and the BMS orchestra, winds, percussion, and other programs. For now, string and woodwind players, and pianists, are actively encouraged to participate. As the Chamber Music program at BMS grows, brass and percussion players will be welcomed to participate by Fall 2021, based on demand.

Each chamber music group will have weekly coachings with a member of the BMS faculty.  Additional non-coached rehearsals are encouraged if the students' schedules allow but they are not required.

Repertoire for each group will be determined by the coach and will be based on the interests and skill level of the group's players. Some standard repertoire will be learned but other non-traditional works and various styles will be coached as well. Regular performances will take place at venues throughout Brooklyn and at BMS; performances will be live, in-person, streamed, outdoors/indoors, based on presented opportunities.

Pre-formed groups are invited to register for coachings; individuals are also encouraged to sign up.  Registration for chamber music coachings may take place at any time but, during the school year, a group must commit to weekly coachings through the end of that school year. Regular attendance is required; one absence per semester is acceptable. Summer chamber music coachings are available, too.
