Application, Fees, Housing, and Requirements

2024 Workshop

Week 1: July 1-5
Week 2: July 8-12

How to Apply

The application is online, and paper applications will no longer be sent in the mail. If you need an alternate way to apply, please contact Terrie Baune, workshop director, for assistance.

All applications received by April 15 will be held until then and reviewed by the director after the deadline. You should expect to receive notice of acceptance by no later than April 30. You can email Terrie Baune at any time to check the status of your application.

Instrumental balance is the crucial consideration for each workshop week. The more flexible you can be regarding which week you are able to attend, the easier it is for us to put rosters together and the better your chances for acceptance (this holds especially true for first-time applicants).

All applicants must be over 18 years of age. If you are under 18, we recommend that you contact the Sequoia Chamber Music Workshop, a similar program for young musicians.
