The Glenn Korff School of Music held its 11th annual Chamber Music Institute, under the direction of Larson Professor of Flute John Bailey, in June.
The week-long institute offers lessons in performance, composition and entrepreneurship for college students, recent college graduates and international students. All accepted participants receive a full fellowship to attend. The fellows receive coaching and composition master classes, entrepreneurship lectures as well as perform in concert.
