Chamber Music
Chamber music opportunities abound at NEC. Hundreds of students participate in chamber music ensembles coached by NEC faculty in differing genres—from string quartets, piano trios, woodwind quintets, and brass quintets to mixed ensembles comprised of winds and piano, winds, strings, and piano, or percussion, strings, and brass. Every group receives many hours of coaching every semester. Each semester culminates with a performance.
For advanced ensembles on the cusp of a professional career, NEC’s professional string quartet and piano trio programs offer top-quality, graduate-level training in all aspects of musicianship and career development.
