Chamber Music Institute

July 6-12, 2008

Mission Statement
The Chamber Music Institute provides an opportunity for young musicians to collaborate in chamber music settings with other talented students while under the tutelage of professional musicians and instructors. Chamber Music Institute musicians will be nurtured to raise their musical awareness in chamber ensembles and to communicate this through the language of music.

Admission
Participation in the Chamber Music Institute is available to all piano, string, woodwind, and brass instrumentalists, from entering freshmen to graduating seniors between the ages of 14 and 18. Admission to CMI is based on the application, audition tapes/CD/VHS video/DVD or live audition, and the letter of recommendation, all to be received before the deadline of May 19, 2008. Student ensembles already in existence are encouraged to apply as a group. Live auditions will take place at the University of Indianapolis on the evening of Monday, May 12, 2008. Applicants will be contacted concerning audition times two weeks prior to the date if choosing this option.

Curriculum
Students will be assigned one or more ensembles in which to participate for the duration of the institute. Additionally, master classes and ensemble coaching along with individual practice time will comprise the day. Each student receives one private lesson in addition to his or her ensemble coaching.

Schedule of Events
A typical day at the Chamber Music Institute will include all or part of the following: ensemble rehearsals, private lessons, master classes, practice time, and group free time. A final concert is to be given in the Ruth Lilly Perfomance Hall at the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center and will feature the participating ensembles. Additional performances at other Indianapolis locations might be scheduled, depending on availability of their facilities. Field trip(s) to hear local perfoming ensembles such as the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra in rehearsal or concerts will be scheduled if available during the dates of the institute.
