Graduate and undergraduate musicians at the Moores School of Music gain a wealth of small ensemble experience through a diverse array of chamber music opportunities offered every semester. We regularly program works for performing groups from students in the strings, woodwinds/brass, and piano divisions, with occasional assistance from voice and other performing divisions as needed. Our resident string quartet, the Tomatz Quartet, is a graduate ensemble with rotating membership and stipend. Other small ensembles are created through the chamber music courses, where students are carefully assigned collaborators and repertoire for performance. Students are also given the latitude to create named ensembles of their own and request repertoire, if they wish. All of them benefit from the wealth of faculty experience available at our school. With its fantastic population of performers, the Moores School is an ideal laboratory in which our student musicians hone their skills for the future. Come play with us! #GoCoogs!
