Kairos Chamber Music Lyceum 2010

Kairos Chamber Music Lyceum, http://kairosmusic.org
is an advanced chamber summer workshop of
Central Washington University Music Department
Ellensburg, WA

The ten-day schedule includes a variety of musical and non-musical activities including 25 hours of faculty led rehearsal/coaching, 16 hours of unsupervised student led rehearsals, 5-15 hours of individual practice and/or free time, three student concerts, two Festival Concerts (featuring artist faculty as well as the Lyceum Chamber Orchestra) and daily, one to two hour long mini-seminars aimed at putting the creative process in perspective by exploring non-musical arts and disciplines ranging from pottery to karate. Additional planned social activities such as hikes, swimming, bowling, and BBQs, promote informal interaction between students and faculty.
Lessons that extend beyond the domain of music making. In addition to work on purely musical and craft-specific skills, the Lyceum embraces and stresses a philosophy of music making that draws upon themes of broad significance. The interrelated themes of communication, listening, and our motto "people before product," have a direct relationship to chamber music but are also of value in almost any imaginable discipline and facet of daily life. The activities and curriculum of the Lyceum are designed to specifically and concretely address these topics so that they become more than just platitudes.
