NEC Prep's new Chamber Music Intensive Performance Seminar (CHIPS) is led by Merry Peckham and offers select advanced students an in-depth chamber music immersion experience, with an emphasis on enhancing chamber music skills and performance.

Students in this selective program trained this year with NEC faculty members including Donald Weilerstein, Paul Katz, Paul Biss, and Kim Kashkashian. In this Jordan Hall concert, they present their work over the course of the program's inaugural year.
