Cummings Quartet Chamber Music Camp
with David Reimer

Chamber music is an invigorating form of music-making in which students play one to a part and work independently as an ensemble.

The students will have multiple performing experiences as part of this day camp. The Cummings Quartet, the professional performing ensemble of the DGSP, is featured as the faculty for this chamber music experience.
