Chamber Music
Asher Wulfman, Coordinator of Chamber Music Program
Welcome to Chamber Music at Opus! “Chamber music” refers to the centuries-old tradition of playing classical music in small groups, usually between 2 and 8 players. Chamber music groups are member-led, rather than having a conductor like an orchestra. Playing chamber music is one of the best ways to develop confidence and independence on an instrument while still sharing the stage with peers. It also aids in strengthening note-reading, rhythm, and other musicianship skills. Most of all, chamber music’s collaborative nature fosters creativity and open communication, often leading to deep and lasting friendships.
At Opus, chamber music is open to elementary school students through adults, and varying experience levels are welcome. Our faculty sort students into well-matched groups after hearing placement auditions, but pre-formed groups are also encouraged to enroll. Groups meet once a week with their assigned faculty coach, at a time decided upon mutually by all members. After a typical 6-week coaching period, groups have opportunities to perform publicly alongside other Opus chamber music groups.
“Playing chamber music since I was a child has shaped me into the musician I am today. As Chair of Chamber Music at Opus, it brings me great pleasure to share my love of this art form with the community through our program. If you want to grow as a musician and make new friends while making music, check out our chamber music programs at Opus.” Asher Wulfman
