Chamber Players
Chamber Players offers a unique musical experience, assembling players of similar skill levels into small chamber ensembles. Participants will explore a diverse repertoire, develop leadership abilities, enhance independent playing, and bolster confidence on their instruments.
This program is designed for ages 12–18.
Classes are held weekly on Saturdays, 10:00 AM–11:00 AM, September 12–December 5. The semester concludes with a performance on December 12. There will be no class on November 7 or 28.
Please submit two repertoire samples that demonstrate your current level of performance. One selection should highlight your lyrical and expressive playing, while the other should showcase your technical proficiency. Each video submission should be no longer than 90 seconds.
For the sight-reading portion of the audition, you will have a 24-hour period to prepare and submit a video performance of the assigned excerpt. To receive the sheet music, please email scrow@butler.edu no later than August 31.
You are encouraged to choose a 24-hour window during which you have adequate time to practice, record, and submit your sight-reading audition. Once the music is sent, your 24-hour preparation period will begin.
