Cleveland Institute of Music Summer Chamber Music
CIM Summer Chamber Music is a 10-day experience for pianists and string players interested in exploring music outside of their solo venues. The rich and varied works available in the chamber music repertoire provide endless opportunities to explore and expand one’s musical horizons. Students will have the chance to meet and work with other young musicians of similar abilities and musical interests. The course will combine coachings, supervised rehearsals, ear training, chamber music literature classes, rehearsal techniques, movement classes, public master classes and a final performance. Auditions are open to all students who study privately, ages 12–18, although exceptions may be made. Auditions will be scheduled at 10-minute intervals and heard by faculty only. Applicants must submit a completed application form and audition fee before an audition will be scheduled. Applicants will be notified of audition date/time one week prior to the audition. Students will be asked to play two pieces of contrasting styles and sight-read. String students should prepare a 3-octave scale and will audition without accompaniment.
