PhoenixPhest! — May 25-27, 2012

Scenes from PhoenixPhest!

PhoenixPhest! is a three-day chamber music festival held on the campus of Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI. The festival provides a unique opportunity for musicians of all ages to play with and be coached by experienced professional musicians in preformed or Phoenix-formed groups. In addition to small-ensemble work, participants attend large-group rehearsals and perform their pieces in a concert at the end of the weekend.
