Chamber groups are formed for string players, wind players, brass players, pianists, and guitarists based on skill level and availability. Auditions occur once a year in the fall. All students accepted into the program must enroll for the entire school year and continue to study privately on their individual instruments. Students must also participate in PCM’s Chamber Music recitals.
