SIXTH ANNUAL USD SUMMER CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL

Co-sponsored by the University of San Diego and FanFaire Foundation, the  Summer Chamber Music Festival invites participants of all ages and musical levels to the beautiful University of San Diego campus for an intensive experience of chamber music making and performance.  Individual participant and pre-formed ensembles are welcome.  Auditing is available.

The week-long USD Summer Chamber Music Festival welcomes participants to come for a week of either full day, evenings only, or weekends only sessions.  Participants under 15 attend only the morning and afternoon sessions during the week.   Individuals with a pre-formed ensemble may request to play together in some sessions.  Participants in the new Viol Consort Initiative (VCI) work with Lisa Terry and Angela Yeung every afternoon and evening during the week, with optional individual lessons (fee extra) during the morning.
