High Desert Chamber Music Auditions for the Spotlight Chamber Players!  High Desert Chamber Music announces auditions for the Spotlight Chamber Players will be held on September 20-21, 2024.

Auditions are open to violin, viola, cello, bass, and piano students in grades 6-12 with three or more years of private study and intermediate to advanced levels of playing.    Past graduates of the SCP program have gone on to pursue music performance degrees at the Colburn Conservatory of Music, Eastman School of Music, Cleveland Institute of Music, San Francisco Conservatory, and others.   The recipients of this award will receive weekly chamber group instruction with Isabelle Senger, as well as individual and group instruction with select visiting artists from the HDCM Concert Series.

Every contribution will help meet this matching challenge. “We are very fortunate to receive this annual challenge from the Starseed Foundation, and we have successfully doubled the impact of our donors for the past seven years,” states Executive Director Isabelle Senger. “Your support will allow us to continue presenting the highest level of excellence in our Concert Series and educational outreach programming.”   Donations can be made on their website, by phone, or by mail.
