Masterclasses are an essential part of a comprehensive study of chamber music, providing opportunities for student quartets to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their repertoire in the company of their colleagues and special guest artists.

Previous masterclasses have been presented by the critically acclaimed Artaria String Quartet, as well as by the Takacs, Pacifica, Brentano, St. Lawrence, Borromeo and Miami String Quartets. Renowned chamber musicians Roberto Diaz (Director of the Curtis Institute) and Arnold Steinhardt (Guarneri Quartet) have also made a profound impact in their sessions with ACMS students.

Masterclasses will again be offered during the 2011-2012 season by the Artaria Quartet and the St. Lawrence Quartet. Attendance at masterclasses is important to the success of those performing and those actively listening to their peers. Families, friends, and teachers are especially invited to come and share in the excitement of the learning process.

All masterclasses are free for ACMS students, guests, and the general public.
