Beare’s Chamber Music
Community
Our flagship programme provides young musicians with the specialist skills needed to rehearse and perform chamber music repertoire, as part of a budding community.
Stepping beyond what can be achieved within formal education settings, Beare’s Chamber offers a unique opportunity for students to rapidly build the specific techniques needed for small ensembles through weekly sessions with specialist tutors. Each term we gather for public concerts to showcase the progress of those on our program.
Celebrating the joy of chamber music, the program’s termly cohort of musicians aged 14-24 form an ambitious community, who grow together and pave the way for a strong musical career that will go on to inspire the next generation.

“The coaches are exceptional and provide so many valuable tips to make our chamber music sound better and improve our overall performance. It is incredibly fun to be able to play through an entire piece of music and work on it every Sunday with my friends.”
