Gillian Rogell coaching one of our ensembles

We're having a great start to third session! All the campers are practicing hard and the ensembles are making some great music.

This week we were fortunate enough to welcome Gillian Rogell to Point CounterPoint. Rogell is the head of the Heart of Chamber Music Institute - a non-profit organization that seeks to enhance the experience of chamber music. She gave a master class in chamber music performance in which several of our ensembles received individual feedback and coaching.

Lee, a founding member of A Far Cry, an genre-bending conductorless chamber orchestra in based in Boston to share some of his musical insights on the exciting possibilities of chamber orchestra
