For many musicians, chamber music is as much about connection as it is about repertoire—the shared experience of listening, collaborating, and discovering new musical perspectives together. At the 92NY School of Music, two chamber music programs offer welcoming entry points into that experience this spring: Chamber Music Reading and Chamber Music Coaching & Performance.

Whether you’re picking up your instrument again, looking to meet fellow players, or hoping to deepen your ensemble work, both programs are designed to bring musicians together in a supportive and engaging environment.

Chamber Music Reading: Playing for the Joy of It

The Chamber Music Reading group offers a relaxed and social way to explore chamber music repertoire. Open to string players, pianists, and wind players of all levels, sessions focus on sight-reading in a friendly, low-pressure setting.

Participants often find that reading sessions are not just about the notes on the page, but about the pleasure of making music together—meeting new collaborators, trying unfamiliar repertoire, and simply enjoying the act of playing.

Participants also receive complimentary tickets to select performances in the Tisch concert series, with the option to take part in an informal performance at the end of the semester.

Tuition & Registration:

• Full Semester: $300 for the remaining 8 weeks (starting April 24, 2026); prorated if joining later
  • To register at a prorated rate, please contact the 92NY School of Music office at: Music@92NY.org
• Drop-In Fee: $55 — Register here
• ACMP members receive a $20 discount on full semester registration; this benefit will be available again beginning Fall 2026

Chamber Music Coaching & Performance

For those interested in working more closely within a consistent, coached group, the Chamber Music Coaching & Performance program offers a structured ensemble experience.

Participants are placed into small groups based on level, repertoire interests, and availability (pre-formed groups are welcome), and work together over a series of coachings with experienced faculty. Over the course of the program, groups develop their repertoire in depth, culminating in a public performance.

With flexible scheduling and a diverse roster of coaches, the program supports both musical growth and the collaborative spirit at the heart of chamber music.

Tuition & Registration:

• Summer Session: $345 – Register here
• Fall / Spring Session: $570 – Contact 92NY School of Music office at: Music@92NY.org

A Place to Play, Connect, and Grow

Both programs reflect a shared goal: to create space for musicians of all backgrounds and levels to come together and play.

Whether you’re looking for a flexible reading session or a coached ensemble experience, 92NY offers a vibrant musical community in the heart of New York City.
