Merry Peckham
Led by Merry Peckham, the Chamber Music Workshop continues to grow and develop into one the of the leading summer chamber music programs of its kind. The program, devoted entirely to the study of great chamber works, is two and a half weeks of intense rehearsals, masterclasses, late-night sight reading sessions, and concerts.
The program features an all-star list of chamber music masters. Each faculty member provides daily coachings and present public masterclasses in the evenings.
The program accepts applicants from students age 18 and older, either as individuals or as part of pre-formed groups. In 2008, the Workshop will see a record 45 violin, viola, cello, and piano students come to Shelter Island.
The program also features a special faculty and student chamber music concert at the Old Whalers Church in Sag Harbor, generously sponsored by Morgan and Sidney Stark.
