Dear string students,

The string chamber music program (also called Camarades) continues to develop. The requirements, policies and
guidelines for this program are being revised.The string faculty is initiating the following opportunity for the upcoming
auditions in September ‘10:

On Friday September 24th from 1pm in studio B860 all new incoming string student (performance majors
only) are invited to audition for chamber music by joining the string faculty in a string quartet setting. Returning
string students do not need to audition.

The choosen work this year is :

  • Bach Art of the Fugue : Contrapunctus I, II, II & IV

The parts are posted in PDF format on this Downloads page. You will be able to access these and print them out
to practice it. Violinists can choose and prepare either 1st or 2nd violin part.

You will be evaluated on the basis of your playing, knowledge of the work, and your chamber music skills. Groups

will then be formed by us.We are sorry not to be able to extend the invitation to play with us to all students, as the
time constraints are significant. For returning students, we already know your playing!

Please send any requests for groups which have collectively agreed on staying together or being pre-formed, and
any repertoire wishes, by (September 15th) 2010, to at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Please be aware that although every effort will be made to honor these requests, it may be hard to guarantee that
groups will end up exactly as everyone wishes. Other instruments (e.g. piano) may be added to the mix.

Aside from coaching groups, the string faculty will be advising ensembles in matters of repertoire choice, personnel
choice and personnel issues, ‘Camarades’concerts and outside performances, competitions etc.

We all would like to see the chamber music program be a central and prominent experience for all string students
in the performance program. It will require a strong commitment from all involved, to allow for each ensemble and
the program to flourish.

We look forward to playing with you very soon!

The String Faculty
