Sartory String Quartet Institute

Join us for the 2022 Sartory String Quartet Institute! Students at this 5-day Institute are placed in chamber ensembles with other students of similar age and proficiency. All ensembles receive daily coachings in preparation for a recital performance at the end of the Institute. In addition to these small ensembles, students play together in a chamber orchestra and experience what it’s like to perform in a larger group without a conductor. Performances will be held on Friday, July 15, at 2:00pm and Saturday morning, July 16, at the Mill City Museum.

In order to attend the camp, all students must audition through recorded video auditions and be accepted into the camp. Please record all three audition requirements (scale, piece and excerpts) in three separate files. Please upload your videos as unlisted on YouTube and then complete the student information form: https://www.macphail.org/sartory-quartet-institute/
