PhoenixPhest! Chamber Music Festival
May 25–27, 2012

Now in its eleventh year, PhoenixPhest! is a three-day chamber music festival that provides a unique opportunity for musicians of all ages to play with and be coached by experienced professional musicians. In addition to small-ensemble work, participants attend large-group rehearsals and perform their pieces in a concert at the end of the weekend. Individuals and preformed groups are welcome.

PhoenixPhest! Grande Chamber Music Festival & Suzuki Institute
August 13–17, 2012

PhoenixPhesters asked for more, so we created a week-long chamber music festival and combined it with a full-scale Suzuki institute. The synergy between the two events makes this a truly inspiring experience for all.

Suzuki participants take part in traditional institute offerings including group classes, private lessons, teacher training, parent lectures and play-ins. Phest participants have a week of intensive chamber music coaching and private lessons. In addition, there are daily student and faculty recitals, and a variety of electives available to all. Schedules are carefully tailored by festival director Gabriel Bolkosky to meet each student’s individual needs.
