Music teacher Jacquelyn Tomlet, said, “In preparation for this prestigious festival, these students have been practicing a selected chamber work at weekly morning rehearsals since the beginning of the school year. The LISFA Chamber Festival offers a unique opportunity for young people who have dedicated their time to learning and rehearsing music in a small chamber setting.”

At the festival, professional chamber musicians offered students a master class and coaching, followed by the students’ culminating performance.
