Session Descriptions Point CounterPoint offers separate sessions varying from one week to five weeks. Chamber music enthusiasts who want to learn more repertoire and integrate all the skills they learn at camp should consider applying for more than one session! *Combinations* of 5, 6 and 8 weeks allow students to make the greatest musical progress.

Young Artists Program This is an opportunity within Session #5 for advanced students entering grades 9-12 who already have significant chamber music experience. Where possible, YAP ensembles will remain together for the entire 5 weeks, enabling them to develop a rapport and polish their ensemble skills at a higher level. They will have additional performance opportunities, which may include performances in the local community, master classes with visiting artists and performances with faculty. All applicants, including previous participants, must audition for this program.
