New Jersey Intergenerational Orchestra (NJIO)
CHAMBER MUSIC SUMMER WORKSHOPS
This summer’s Chamber Music Workshops, with improved professional development and instruction, are the perfect opportunity for music students of all ages and abilities to explore the artistry of chamber music while gaining confidence and skills as a musician. Led by NJIO’s Artistic Director Warren Cohen and Program Director Martin Steinberg, NJIO’s principal cellist, this program offers professional chamber coaching in a non-competitive atmosphere.

The workshops are open to string, woodwind, brass and keyboard players. We encourage both individual musicians and established groups to participate in the workshop. Whether this is your first chamber music experience, you are an individual that wants to expand your chamber repertoire, or are anxious to explore an ambitious chamber piece with a group of friends, this workshop is for you!
WHEN: Session A: June 4, 11, 18, 25; Session B: July 9, 16, 23, 30; Thursdays, 7-9 PM
WHERE: NJIO, 570 Central Ave, New Providence, NJ
Discounts for early registration are available for registration by May 21 for Session A, and before June 18 for Session B. Availability is limited, so please register online at http://njio.org/join/chamber/ or contact Mary Beth Sweet at info@njio.org or (908) 603-7691 for more information.
In August, NJIO will also offer a new program, Summer String Studio. This studio prepares string musicians in school, youth or community orchestras for the upcoming season with instruction in bowing, rhythmic integrity, intonation and score reading. It is also great for those who want to improve their musicianship. Contact us for more information.
