Coaching and support for tomorrow’s chamber musicians

Mentorships

Ensembles design a programme of study with a chosen mentor in a mix of private and public sessions. Public masterclasses are mostly held at Kings Place and are open and free to observers.

Residencies

Three days of immersive coaching and rehearsal in a quiet country setting away from the distractions of day-to-day life.

Hans Keller Forum

Hans Keller Forum provides a unique opportunity for college-age chamber ensembles to work with renowned mentors in an annual set of three 3-day residencies in Cambridge.

Hub

Created in 2021 in response to covid-19, Hub provides a venue for three ensembles to share a full day of rehearsal, an informal concert, coaching, feedback and discussion.

Visiting Professor Series

We invite eminent chamber musicians from outside the UK to work intensively with selected ensembles over a period of two or three days.

Hall One Masterclasses

These are held in Hall One at Kings Place and are given by world-renowned musicians, most recently Alfred Brendel, Steven Isserlis, and Sir András Schiff.

Mark Padmore, Sally Beamish, Martyn Crucefix and Sini Simonen discussing Rilke’s ‘Letters to a Young Poet’

This series of discussions was launched in response to the pandemic to provide a forum for chamber musicians to share ideas and create a sense of community and strength at a time when the future concert scene was looking particularly uncertain.

“ChamberStudio is a completely unique springboard for development, which seems to truly understand the meaning of nurture”

— Maxwell Quartet
