Summer Chamber Music Exploration at WCMS is a 3-day chamber music experience for string, piano and woodwind students ages 7-12. This program is ideal for students who are brand new or have had just a couple of years of ensemble playing experience.

This two-week chamber music program provides an in-depth, immersive experience for young musicians that includes multiple chamber ensembles, master classes, music theory/appreciation classes, workshops in special topics, private lessons, arts & crafts, and wellness/recreation. Public performances are held at the conclusion of the program.
