The Hausmann Chamber Music Program Announces Summer Festival

The Hausmann Chamber Music Program announces their exciting interactive 'Summer Festival' at San Diego State University School of Music and Dance (SDSU), June 18th through June 23rd, 2018, from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. This event will be an intensive music experience for string, wind, brass and piano players ages 12 and older which will engage them in a dynamic combination of classes, performances and social opportunities. (Younger students will be accepted on a case-by-case basis). This year HCMP will also be open to pre-formed adult chamber music groups, with a prorated tuition rate option to participate for less than the full five days.

Sessions on physical movement, improvisation and other related topics are included. The festival will again feature collaborations with San Diego Bass Fest (also on campus) with a joint faculty recital and shared activities.
