Ithaca College Chamber Music Institute 2001

General Information

The deadline for application is March 15, 2001.

Qualifications

The Chamber Music Institute is open to violin, viola, and cello students. Minimum performance level should be equivalent to the Bach Concerto in A Minor for violin, the Telemann Concerto in G Major for viola, and the Vivaldi Sonata in E Minor for cello. The institute reserves the right to limit the number of certain instruments (such as the violin) to ensure the proper balance for quartets.

Students must be at least 12 years old by July 1 to be accepted into the program. The upper age limit is 18.

Accommodations and Recreation

Participants in the Chamber Music Institute will live together on campus in a college residence hall. This facility is under the supervision of a team of mature, trained male and female advisers who live in the residence hall with the students. The residence advisers also provide leadership for carefully planned recreational and social activities.

Expenses

The fee for the three-week institute is $1,800. Payment plans are available. The fee covers participation in quartet coaching and rehearsals, string orchestra rehearsals, lessons, planned recreational activities, meals in the campus dining hall, housing (a shared double room in the supervised campus residence hall) and an institute T-shirt.

Scholarship aid is available on a limited basis to viola and cello students. These scholarships are designed mainly to ensure the proper instrumental balance for quartets. Scholarships are awarded on a merit basis and will not exceed $750. Please direct your request in writing to Sanford Reuning, institute director. Notifica- tion will be given together with acceptance into the program.

Refunds: If you are accepted and cancel your registration before May 1, a full refund, less a $50 administrative service fee, will be made. No refunds will be made after that date.
