PYCO Chamber Music Academy

For Strings, Woodwinds, & Piano Students, Ages 11-20
Katya Janpoladyan, Director 

The PYCO Chamber Music Academy was created to give students the opportunity to learn and perform chamber music repertoire such as string quartets, piano trios, and more. Participants meet weekly to rehearse with a coach in small ensembles of 2 to 5 students. The Chamber Music Academy provides a unique opportunity for students to take ownership of the music they perform, with individualized instruction and guidance from outstanding coaches who show students how to prepare music together in a small group.

The PYCO Chamber Music Academy takes place on Saturday afternoons from 1:30 to 3:00 pm during two semesters of the school year. The dates for the semesters may be found below. There will also be public performances at concerts over the course of the year. All rehearsals take place at the PYCO School of Music.
