Adult Study
Program
SOCMI Adult Amateur Chamber
Music Programme (TBD)
Adult chamber music enthusiasts (primarily string players) have
the opportunity to meet and play with like-minded people at SOCMI. The
campus is surprisingly attractive, rich in facilities, and situated
right on the Great Lake Ontario. It is located five
minutes from the beautiful downtown of Oakville, Ontario, with
its many regarded restaurants and shops and a commuter train to
downtown Toronto. Players may come in pre-formed groups
with repertoire in mind. They may also apply solo
with nothing in mind and let faculty set them up with music
and suitable associates. Participants may be involved in ensemble
coaching sessions, individual lessons, masterclasses, chamber orchestra,
composition lessons, public concerts, "swinging singles" ad
hoc chamber music with opportunities to experience a variety
of local restaurants to finish the day.
