Collaborative Piano
The NEC Collaborative Piano Department offers a unique program of intensive study to advanced pianists with leading specialists in the fields of song, chamber music, and opera. Through daily study in performance classes, private lessons, and coachings, students gain greater familiarity with the standard vocal and instrumental repertoire and develop the skills needed to be professional collaborative artists. Students will also benefit from the instruction of world-renowned artist-teachers from NEC’s departments of strings, woodwinds, and voice through collaboration projects and work assistantships.
Cameron Stowe, chair of NEC’s Collaborative Piano department.
From the Department Chair
We are immensely proud of the long legacy of our department and its position today as an innovative model for conservatory collaborative piano programs. The last ten years have been especially exciting, as we have seen our alumni find rewarding and impactful careers as international concert performers, educators at top music schools throughout the world, including conservatories in Shanghai, Sydney, Guildhall, Eastman, and Juilliard, and emerging leaders in opera, with positions with the opera houses of Chicago, San Francisco, Covent Garden, Dutch National, Washington National, and Wolf Trap, among others.
