Music is meant to be shared and made together with friends. Small chamber ensembles including duos, trios, quartets and quintets are arranged for several instruments each semester for students, based on their age and playing level.
Interested in joining our Chamber Music Program? Email our Chamber Music Coordinator, Conrad Chu at clchu@bsmny.org
Bloomingdale’s chamber program is made to fit every student! Small chamber ensembles can be arranged for two to six students and will meet regularly with a coach to further their technique and skill. Players are grouped based on their ages and playing ability so that they can relate to one another and challenge one another. Groups may consist of school-aged students matched by the program coordinator, friends looking to play together or adult learners who want to add a social element to their playing.
Chamber music groups can play together during the set 17-week session each semester or set up flexible meetings over a longer period. All chamber groups are assigned a coach from the faculty and must practice independently between group rehearsals.
Groups will be assembled based on age, playing level, student and coach availability and instrumentation; a video audition is required. All instruments are welcome to audition.
