The Chamber Music Society of Santa Barbara provides chamber music playing
opportunities for musicians aged 16 and over. We are fairly small, with
room for about 45 people. The workshop lasts two days, Saturday and Sunday.
Preference will be given to your first instrument.
Please indicate your preferences for individual and/or preformed group
attendance:
Preformed Group Information
You may apply for two preformed groups for this workshop.
Our goal is to accept as many participants as possible, but we are limited
to 10 groups per day. The workshop will give preference to those preformed
groups who have four or more players. Preformed trios will be accepted
only after all others are considered. Participating in two different preformed
groups is allowed, but group members must be different on each day. Please
bring all the music your group will need, along with a score for your coach
to use. Each group member must apply for the workshop and list the other
members of the group. If all members of your group are not registered by
the deadline, the group will not be accepted.
Please list the names of your group members.
Our preformed group will be rehearsing the following piece:
Please list any suggested pieces or group types you would to play in.
(Note: There is no guarentee that we will be able to arrange your suggestions,
but we will do so if possible.)
Please list the names of your second group members.
Our Fall workshop is tentatively scheduled for November 21 - 22, which
is the weekend before Thanksgiving. Would you be able to attend?
Add a donation to help CMSSB with workshop expenses or help provide a
