UChicago’s Chamber Music Program offers students, faculty and staff the opportunity to perform their favorite chamber works around UChicago and the Hyde Park Community!

- Participate in our weekly Chamber Music Thursdays
HOW IT WORKS
- Sign up for an audition. Our audition dates are Saturday, Sept. 30th and Sunday, Oct. 1st.
- We’ll introduce you to your group at our Launch Party. Each group is assigned a piece to work on and a coach.
- You’ll arrange a weekly rehearsal time with your group, and you’ll schedule three coachings per quarter.
