Chamber Ensembles

Strings Chamber Studio

Experience the art of making music together in String Chamber Studio, led by renowned cellist Harel Geitheim. Designed for intermediate to advanced string players, this studio gives students the opportunity to explore chamber music in a small ensemble, where every musician plays an essential role.

Through weekly rehearsals and coaching, students will develop the skills that make chamber music come alive: active listening, musical communication, balance and blend, shared leadership, and expressive interpretation. Repertoire is selected to challenge and inspire each ensemble while supporting each student’s technical and artistic growth.

The session culminates in one or more performances, giving students the chance to share the music they have created together with the community.
