Chione is thrilled to bring quINTENS!VE, a unique chamber music day camp to Minnesota! This program will include coachings with members of Chione, technique building classes, independent rehearsals and performances, as well as a side-by-side performance with Chione. quINTENS!VE is open to all students playing flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn or bassoon who are entering grades 7-12.

quINTENS!VE participants will be challenged to stretch and develop their musical skills. Students will learn to listen to and respond to each other in a way that is unique to small ensemble performance. With only one person to a part, students will build confidence as soloists, as well as learn to blend their sound with timbres of other instruments. Coachings will emphasize productive, collegial rehearsal techniques that form the foundation of successful collaboration.
