The Chamber Music program at Dickinson provides a nurturing environment in which any member of its talented student body (along with members of the greater Carlisle Community) can augment their personal artistic journey and further challenge themselves with the study and performance of music for smaller ensembles. These groups usually comprise 2-8 members and are coached once a week by members of the College music faculty. The Music Department encourages imaginative ideas from its students and is open to delving into such genres as music theater, jazz and original composition as well as classical music.
