Chamber Music Perspectives Workshop
Launched in 2023, Chamber Music Perspectives Workshop (CMPW) is a unique summer program for advanced young string players in the Dallas-Fort-Worth area to explore both chamber music and music composition.
Learning and performing chamber music is a wonderful way for musicians to build relationships and collaborate with one another, as it involves listening, initiating, imagining, and exchanging ideas. CMPW students will hone all these skills while working on a colorful array of chamber music repertoire, which they will have the opportunity to perform at the end of the workshop.
Chamber music also involves engaging with a composer’s musical language through a written score, created before any of the performers have come together. CMPW aims to provide insight into this composition process, allowing students to explore how pieces are conceived, and in turn, how they might compose music themselves. Regardless of composition experience, CMPW will help students build confidence in translating their ideas and interpretive choices into their own pieces of music, which they will then workshop and present in front of a live audience.
