Students will also participate in all other Camp Programming like private lessons, large ensembles, and afternoon recreational activities.

Intensive Chamber Music Testimonials

"Intensive Chamber Music was an amazing experience because it had all the unforgettable aspects of NEMC’s core session, but built off of the regular camp, creating a new program which I believed to be an amazing opportunity for myself as a chamber player to grow. It was a nourishing and focused environment. Attending this program was an honor and privilege, and was certainly the highlight of such a difficult year. It brought the greatest joy and memories to my entire year. They made me feel safe and supported, while continuing to live up to the great legacy of this camp! The words thank you aren’t enough. "

"This was my source of light this year. I had no expectation that I was going to be able to play live music this summer, and this Chamber Music was an unbelievable respite from the stress and uncertainty of virtual learning. I had amazing groups to play with, along with an attentive and creative staff. I didn't expect to make as strong connections as I did, but I made close friends like I've made nowhere else. I never wanted to leave while I was there, and I've been counting the days until I go back."
