Chamber Music School

Opus 1’s Chamber Music School operates on a trimester basis: Fall, Winter, and Spring. Each trimester is made up of approximately eleven weeks. Within that time, students receive eight coachings, rehearsal time, a masterclass opportunity, and a final performance. The eight coachings are chosen based on the weeks with the maximum attendance. Students are allowed to be excused from one scheduled coaching per trimester.
