Love to make music with a small group of friends? Want a learning and performance opportunity specifically designed for older, more advanced string players? Moved past the Beginning Strings class level but still want to be involved? AMFS Chamber Music Lab is for you!
In this chamber music program designed for older and more experienced string players, you will work in small groups to develop ensemble skills, learn new music and techniques, and expand your independent musicianship with a dedicated ensemble coach. Learn more.
The Aspen Music Festival and School's AfterWorks programming (after-school music education) also includes the Beginning Strings, Lead Guitar, and Maroon Bel Canto Choirs programs. Students are welcome to participate in multiple programs.Para leer esta página o aplicación en español, haga clic derecho sobre el ratón y seleccione "Translate."
