The aim of the SSCMS Summer School is to promote high quality and enjoyable
chamber music making in a relaxed and non-competitive environment. Each
participant is assigned to a chamber group, which is chosen according
to ability and experience. In addition to chamber music coaching, everyone
is involved in a large ensemble and there is individual coaching on
chamber music parts. The course incorporates a public concert given
by the SSCMS tutors; The Regency Ensemble on
Tuesday 26th August and closes with a participants’ concert on
Friday 29th.

Information
Applicants
The courses are primarily for bowed string instruments with a few spaces
available for wind and brass and piano. Participants are expected to
be between 16 and 21 years old and to have reached ABRSM Grade 8 standard
or above. We welcome applications from individuals or pre-formed groups.
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served
basis; please apply early to avoid disappointment.
Repertoire
As the duration of the course is short, it is essential that parts are
learnt thoroughly before the first day. Music will be sent out by the
beginning of July and we encourage everyone to take their parts to their
teachers to help with the preparation. If you have any repertoire preferences,
we will do our best to accommodate them although this cannot always
be guaranteed.
Fees
The course fee is £160, which includes free entry to the tutors’
concert. A deposit of £40 is payable on application and will be
refunded if we are unable to accommodate you. The balance is due by
Saturday 12th July 2008. If you would prefer to pay in four instalments,
please specify this on your form.
Location
The course takes place at the Friends'
Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton. BN1 1AF.

Repertoire
Participants
are encouraged to find their own chamber music parts; most libraries
stock standard chamber music repertoire. If you have problems finding
your part, please let me know and I will help.
Everyone is expected to learn their chamber
music parts in advance and encouraged to take them to their teachers
and to listen to recordings to help with the preparation. Bartók
and Prokovief parts will be available on the first day of the course.
Please remember to bring a music stand and
a pencil with you to the course.
