Definition: Music performed by a small number of musicians, with one to a part.

Chamber Music is open to students of all ages who have had one or more years of private instrumental or vocal lessons. Participants will be grouped according to their skill level, and the repertoire spans all genres, including baroque, classical, pop, jazz, and new works. The chamber program is semester-long and takes place in both the Fall and Spring semesters. The program consists of 8 sessions with a faculty coach for vocal and instrumental ensembles. Each semester culminates with a live performance.
