Chamber music groups: Apply for a trip to Montreal, Canada

For the fifth time, "Musical Chairs" will take place in Montreal, Canada. It is a chamber music festival that brings together students and faculty from a range of music academies from around the world. Chamber music groups at NMH can apply to take part.

About the festival/course

  • Dates: 17 May to 25 May 2024 (return 26 May)
  • Place: Schulich School of Music at McGill University i Montreal, Canada

NMH, being one of the partner institutions, can send one student ensemble and one faculty member to this event. The student group will receive tuition and play at concerts during the festival. In addition, members of each ensemble are assembled into new groups mixing performers from all institutions. Those groups work on new repertoire that will be assigned ahead of the festival and perform it towards the end of the week.

All chamber music groups that only consist of current NMH students can apply.

Funding

Travel expenses will be covered by NMH.

The students pay for accommodation and other expenses (i.e. local transport, food) themselves. The organiser will assist in finding affordable accommodation. It is also possible to apply for additional support from NMH's grants (click here to read more about NMH's grants).

Application deadline: By the end of Sunday 11 February.

In the application, you must provide information about the repertoire you want to bring with you to the festival (approx. 30-40 minutes of music).
