The Quartet Project
15th Anniversary
July 11th — 28th, 2011
A Summer Chamber Music Program for
Advanced Middle and High School
Violinists, Violists and Cellists
The Quartet Project is celebrating its 15th year as an intense summer chamber program for advanced string instrumentalists. Students study string quartet repertoire in addition to orchestral music. Group session topics often include instrument care, wellbeing for the musician, and basic music theory.
Activities will take place on the campus of UMD at the former Chester Park Elementary School. Rehearsals and performance with the Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra will take place at UMD's Weber Music Hall.
Students will partake in rehearsals and coaching Mondays and Wednesdays with faculty artists from the Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra.
Students join the LSCO in a public performance on the evening of Wednesday, July 20th. The camp will come to a close on Thursday, July 28th when the students of Quartet Project present their own concert performance.
Participants of Quartet Project will receive season tickets to the 2011 LSCO summer season.
Students should prepare a short solo work demonstrating their abilities. Currently formed quartets may audition as an ensemble. Students will be contacted by Marinos Glitsos to schedule an audition time.
