Winterhaven Chamber Music Retreat

Winterhaven Chamber Music Retreat is open to adult chamber players of intermediate to advanced level on violin, viola, cello, and piano.  Winterhaven focuses on in-depth chamber music study with intensive coaching and private lessons from faculty who are all active chamber music professionals. Each participant plays in two chamber ensembles - one ensemble is composed entirely of workshop participants, while the other ensemble includes one faculty member who plays as part of the group.  In addition to daily chamber music coachings, each participant receives two private lessons during the retreat.  Evenings include open faculty rehearsals, sight-reading parties, workshops, master classes, and performances.  Open time is available during the day to explore the surrounding area by snow shoe or cross country skis, gather with friends over ping pong or coffee, sight-read, book a massage or yoga class, or just relax in your private room.  At Winterhaven we foster a supportive community for all, where participants and faculty work together formally and informally.   Gourmet meals are served family-style in the Great Hall, encouraging conversation, sharing, and friendships that will continue well past your time at Winterhaven.
