The Oklahoma State University Department of Music is pleased to announce the Third Annual OSU Horizons String Chamber Music Camp. String chamber music includes some of the most inspiring works of music ever written. This camp will provide violin, viola, and cello students with the opportunity to explore this repertoire, as they rehearse and perform as members of small ensembles such as string trios, string quartets, and string sextets.
Throughout the week, members of the OSU string faculty will meet daily with each group for coaching sessions. There will be time allotted for personal and group practice, as well as the opportunity to perform each day in masterclasses. In addition, students will participate in daily classes that will address issues of performance anxiety, stretching for string players, improvisation and alternative styles, practice techniques, and overuse injury prevention. The week will conclude with a performance featuring the student ensembles. Horizons will take place on the OSU campus at the Seretean Center for the Arts; students have the option of staying in the dorms at OSU or attending the camp as day-students. Each day concludes with time to unwind; 2007 activities included movie night/board game night, chamber music sight-reading sessions with faculty and students, and dinners at Eskimo Joe’s and The Hideaway.
