“I want to play my favorite music, but it’s only possible with other musicians.”
“I love playing chamber music, but I just don’t have time to get my friends together.”
“I wish I had more friends who want to play music with me!”
If any of the above sounds familiar, join us for Chamber Music Reading Party! This casual, one-time experience with chamber music will allow you to get to know other musicians in a fun, low-pressure environment. It’s a great way for students and musicians of all levels to prepare or sight-read chamber music pieces with other adults, have some refreshments, and meet other music enthusiasts.
Please fill out a RSVP form in advance here.
What if I’m completely new to chamber music?
You are welcome to try playing with others in this encouraging space! Once you arrive, you’ll be assigned to a room based on the level you indicate on our RSVP form, so that everyone can be part of an experience that will work for them. In each room, we’ll all take turns playing in the middle and socializing, eating/drinking, etc on the sides.
Do I need to bring my own music?
Nope! Music from the standard repertoire will be provided for sight-reading, either in hard copies or digitally to be printed or AirDropped. We will also send out some options ahead of time, in case you’d like to take a look in advance.
