Signing-Up for Chamber Music
- Sign-up deadline for fall semester will be on Friday, August 31, 2018
You can sign up for chamber music in one of two ways. If you have formed a group, fill out a Pre-Formed Group Form. Forms will be found on the bulletin board outside Rm. 302LH and should be returned to the envelope on the door by Friday, August 31, 2018.
If you do not have a pre-formed group, but would like to participate in chamber music, you must sign up on the sign-up sheet on the board, also by Friday, August 31, 2018. If you are new to Peabody, you are urged to allow me to help you find an appropriate group. If you are asked to be in a group, but you don’t know the people in the group, you can contact me to find out if they would be appropriate people for you to be in a group with.
Pianists
- Pianists who are new to Peabody or have never played chamber music (or piano ensemble) at Peabody should sign up for a short audition on Wednesday, August 29, 2018. Audition Sign-Up Sheet is on the board outside Rm. 302LH. Auditions will be held in Goodwin Hall from 3:30-5:30pm. Pianists should prepare two contrasting movements or pieces- anything that shows who you are as a pianist. This is not an entrance audition, but is just a chance for us to get to know you.
Chamber Music Meeting
- There will be a chamber music informational meeting on Thursday, August 30, 2018 from 1:30-2:30pm in Cohen-Davison Theatre. Information about the chamber music program, including how to sign up for chamber music and this year’s chamber music events, will be discussed. This meeting is primarily for new students, but all students wishing to know more about the chamber music program are welcome. The meeting is not mandatory, but new students are encouraged to attend.
