    Join us for the Summer Chamber Music Intensive, a uniquely personalized week-long experience for young musicians. Students are grouped in chamber ensembles and work closely with members of Mannes Prep’s outstanding and inspiring faculty. The intensive features a low student-to-faculty ratio, a nurturing musical community, exciting performance opportunities, and plenty of fun! All students participate in daily chamber coaching, sight-reading classes, master classes and workshops, and jam sessions. The week culminates in a student performance that is open to family, friends, and the public.

    To apply: Please complete our Online Application Form and pay the $75 application fee. Once you have applied, Mannes Prep will contact you by email with information about submitting a video audition. For the video, applicants should perform two contrasting pieces that best demonstrate their current playing level and one two-octave scale of their choice. The application fee and video audition are waived for current Mannes Prep students.
