A one-day immersion for High School String players
WHAT: The focus will be to experience chamber music as an activity to share with friends. Our goal for these students is to make a connection with their ensemble peers and learn about the process of preparing and performing a chamber music work along the way.
After reviewing applications, students will be assigned to a chamber ensemble and a piece to prepare. Each ensemble with have a dedicated coach. Coaches will provide information about the piece they’ll be learning and practice strategies prior to the event.

A one-day immersion for High School String players
On February 24, 2024 Friends of Chamber Music partnered with Kutztown University’s Music Department to host a one-day immersion event for high school students.
19 High School and Junior High students, and 2 college students gathered on the Kutztown University campus for seven hours of rehearsing, coaching, and concertizing under the guidance, encouragement, and inspiration of a quartet of Doctoral candidates from SUNY Stony Brook that included Berks County’s own Stephanie Bonk. Thanks to everyone who worked to make this a joyous success! We’re already looking forward to next year.
