The Tallgrass Chamber Music Festival will take place on the University of Wisconsin-Platteville campus from July 23rd to August 6th, 2017. For two full weeks, students will be immersed in an intensive professional training program. Faculty members will include members of the Juliani Ensemble as well as rotating faculty musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Students will attend coaching sessions with the faculty in pursuit of gaining knowledge and experience required for professional chamber music performances. They will also be attending concerts given by the faculty. During each week, the students will participate in community outreach by performing at local senior centers. A sample schedule includes daily rehearsals and coachings, private practice time, and scheduled weekly outing, with one student recital program per week. All performances will be live streamed. Guest artists will conduct masterclasses, give performances, and will be available should students wish to schedule private lessons.
