Upcoming Workshops
2026 – Winter Workshop
SANTA FE – February 13-16, 2026, at St. John’s United Methodist Church.
Registration is open!
This year, our focus will again be on smaller chamber ensembles coached by the highest quality professional COACHES! We will organize a “two-track” day Friday, Saturday and Monday:
Half the day will feature smaller ensembles of strings + winds, just strings, just winds, and ensembles with piano, with professional coaching working on a pre-assigned piece with music distributed in advance.
The other half of the day will feature participation in a second similar ensemble. Options may include slightly larger chamber ensembles: baroque, wind octet, wind decet, mixed strings/winds. Pianists are also welcome. Music will also be distributed in advance.
Both works will offer a performance opportunity at the afternoon concert on Monday the 16th.
Sunday will offer a self-contained coached program of similar works and an optional play-through.
Note: This program design will allow our participants who have a concert with another ensemble on Sunday (e.g., High Desert Winds) to keep that commitment and also attend our workshop without impacting other players/groups.
Pre-formed groups, for example string quartet or wind quintet, are welcome to apply. If you register as a pre-formed group, you will have your sessions that repeat each day as your pre-formed group. The other half of your day will be assigned as described above.
Note: this workshop format is highly dependent on registrations and matching playing levels. We will do our best to accommodate preferences, but we are not able to guarantee them.
