Welcome to Chamber Music at Peabody!
Signing Up for Chamber Music
- Do not register for Chamber Music or Piano Ensemble on SIS. All registrations and add/drops must be done through the Director of Chamber Music, Annie Fullard.
- Chamber Music sign-up for the Fall semester happens at the very beginning of the semester. Sign-up for Spring semester Chamber Music happens at the end of the Fall semester. In both cases, look for emails from Annie Fullard which will have all the information and links you need.
- All sign-up forms are online. Links to Chamber Music sign-up forms will come to you in email from Annie Fullard.
- Detailed Information about Chamber Music requirements, procedures, and sign-up can be found by navigating to Requirements on the Chamber Music page.
- If you would like to play in more than one group, you MUST get permission first! We do not allow freshman to play in more than one group.
You can sign up for Chamber Music in one of two ways:
- If you have formed a group or piano duo, fill out a Pre-Formed Group Form. (If you have formed most of a group and would like help finding players to complete the group, fill out a Pre-Formed Group Form and indicate what you need in the appropriate place.)
- If you do not have a pre-formed group or piano duo, but would like to participate in Chamber Music, fill out an Individual Sign-Up Form.
Please note that links to Chamber Music sign-up forms will come to you in emails from Annie Fullard.
Chamber Music auditions for pianists
If you are pianist without a Pre-Formed Group and would like to be placed in Chamber Music (including Piano Ensemble) in Fall or Spring this year, you must play a short audition in addition to completing the Individual Sign-Up Form. An electronic sign-up sheet will be sent by email from Annie Fullard. Auditions take place in the Fall; there is not Spring semester audition.
Please prepare two contrasting movements from your solo repertoire (works from the Classical period are encouraged!) and you will be asked to sight read a short, not-too-hard piece, as well.
Honors Ensembles
The Peabody Honors Ensemble program is open to serious and excellent groups of all kinds who wish to dedicate themselves to developing as an ensemble. Honors Ensembles will be chosen by audition and will be given special performance and other opportunities.
Concert Attendance Requirement
All students who are registered for chamber music must fulfill a concert attendance requirement. Each student must attend the following number of concerts over the course of the semester:
- 1 end-of-semester student chamber music concert
- 1 faculty or other professional chamber music concert
See the FAQ page on the Chamber Music Webpage for answers to most of your questions!
