The Mozarteum Conservatory in Salzburg, Austria is the 2011-2012 JCM tour.
Students will be chosen from this season.
Why Chamber Music? It's fun and inspiring, and a great way to make friends that are like you. It teaches high level musicianship and is a great way to compete in competitions. You can connect with great teachers and players, and people will discover you as well!
Why JCM? Students will find friends, music they love, and many opportunities to perform. JCM does not center around one school or teacher. We work with over 100 teachers, dozens of music series, and over 20 summer festivals. In summary, we have the most incredible opportunities available for students. We are also the most flexible with scheduling, and the least amount of driving for parents!
We give out scholarships to summer music festivals around the world, go on life-changing tours to places like Carnegie, the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, and more... JCM has all sorts of exciting performance opportunities including Juilliard, Carnegie, USC, Colburn, Shumei, Newport Beach Library, Pacific Symphony Concerts in the Park, and the Orange County Performing Arts Center.
What We Do: JCM matches students into small ensemble teams (2-5 players) according to level, age, and location. *We encourage requests for particular group members, coaches, and repertoire.
NEW! Honors Program: JCM has an elite program for the top groups in each branch. Special auditions will be held in January to select these groups. Honors groups are selected for masterclasses, additional concerts, and special scholarships. Don't worry, we have scholarships and performance opportunities for non-honors groups as well!
Eligibility: Instrumentalists (string, piano, woodwind, brass, harp, guitar, percussion) and vocalists, age 9-22 may apply. Level ranges from intermediate to very advanced. College students encouraged to apply.
Application Deadline: Online application and application fee ($40) must be received 4 days prior to the branch's audition times (Sept 24-25 or October 1-2, depending on branch). Apply early to get your desired audition time (available online after application fee is received).
