Ball State University Benefic Chamber Music Camp

A symphony of sounds awaits your child at the Benefic Chamber Music Camp hosted by Ball State University. Purposefully crafted, this educational retreat is a harmonious blend of intensive learning, designed to amplify the chamber music and collaborative skills of string, wind, French horn, and piano students, from high school to early college years. The camp's melody is set by a distinguished ensemble of instructors, whose credentials echo like a grand concerto. Members have performed in major symphony orchestras and honed their teaching craft at esteemed institutions like the University of Cincinnati and Ball State University, Indiana University, and Michigan State University. At the camp, each day unfolds like a musical score. Daily ensemble coachings and record-and-review sessions help young musicians fine-tune their performance. Individual coaching sessions delve deeper into mastering assigned chamber music repertoire, while private lessons offer an intimate setting for personal growth. Master classes by camp faculty and guest artists provide insights into the art of performance, while the thrill of a concerto competition challenges campers to perform with the BCMC Orchestra. Guest Artist and Faculty concerts and presentations offer inspiration and a glimpse into the world of professional musicianship. Student performances at Sursa Hall, with its high-tech tunable acoustics, provide a crescendo to the camp experience. Each note played, each skill learned, each friendship formed at the Benefic Chamber Music Camp, resonates long after the final curtain call, creating a lasting symphony of memories.
