Enjoy our showcase of our student’s who were part of LAM’s 2021 Summer Symposium. This showcase features student chamber groups playing historical works as well as premieres of student works in our composition program and the audio is produced by students in our audio production program! It was wonderful to see students and faculty play music together and collaborate in creating new music this summer. Bravo to all!
We are so excited to release our performances from the first ever LAM Summer Symposium!! We had a wonderful couple weeks of music making and collaboration between LAM faculty, NouLou Chamber Players, student composers, student musicians, and artists and educators locally and nationally. We are excited to continue the program next summer and continue offering chamber experiences for our students throughout the year.
