Decoda Skidmore Chamber Music Institute
WHAT DISTINGUISHES THIS FESTIVAL
Decoda is a cutting-edge chamber music society forging an integrated role for classical music in communities around the world. Based in New York City, Decoda maintains a flexible roster of a new type of musician: virtuoso, arts advocate and educator.
FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Institute will be divided into two week-long segments: 1. Development of an Internal Community 2. Engaging and Serving the External Community. The Institute enables young musicians to explore leadership and community service through the intensive study of chamber music. Under the guidance of Decoda faculty, students will learn how to engage their audiences and communities through scripted interactive chamber music performances while improving their own performance and public-speaking skills. Expected student outcomes: improved musicianship (technical and artistic), improved ability to navigate group dynamics, improved musical analysis, an understanding fundamentally of what makes a piece work, deep knowledge of at least two pieces, performance experiences in traditional and community settings.
