Ah, I was just about to start a thread on this, because it's about time to apply/register for summer workshops on the classical side of things too. I just submitted my application to the CalCap Chamber Music Workshop last night.

Here's what's on my radar for classical players. This is definitely not an exhaustive list; I'm more aware of what's available on the West Coast because I live in California.

 

Chamber Music Workshops

Chaparral Chamber Music Workshop - Prescott, AZ, May 31-June 2
Apple Hill Summer Chamber Music Workshop - Nelson, NH, five sessions: June 14-23, June 28-July 7, July 12-21, July 26-August 4, August 9-18
Humboldt Chamber Music Workshop - Arcata, CA, two sessions: July 1-5 and July 8-12
Chamber Music Conference of the East - Hamilton, NY, four sessions: July 7-14, July 14-21, July 21-28, July 28-August 4
Austin Chamber Music Workshop - Austin, TX, adult division July 7-17
Ashland Chamber Music Workshop - Ashland, OR, July 14-19
CalCap Chamber Music Workshop - Sacramento, CA, two sessions: July 14-19 and July 21-26
SoCal Chamber Music Workshop - Claremont, CA, July 21-27
Crowden Adult Chamber Music Workshop - Berkeley, CA, July 31-August 4
Interlochen Adult Chamber Music Camp - Interlochen, MI, August 12-18

Other

Midsummer Musical Retreat - Walla Walla, WA, July 29-August 4 - includes orchestra, chamber music, and optional elective classes (elective offerings include jazz improv and some other non-classical genres)

Being I live in a neighboring State to Canada, I should've considered mentioning some events there. 

AlgomaTrad Family Camp

 

Enjoy camping - with NO Wi-Fi? 

Classes & Workshops mostly for Fiddle - but looks like also Cello, Guitar, Ukulele, Piano, Banjo, Flute/Whistle, Accordion, Uilleann/Highland Pipes, Mandolin, Percussion, Song, Dance AND Classes for Children! 

Dances & Concerts, too!

FOUR DAYS - August 12th-15th, 2024  

St. Joseph Island, Ontario

I just heard about this fiddle camp (the violinist in my quartet has gone several times), and I don't see it on the list:

Fiddle Tunes - Port Townsend, WA, July 1-8

It looks like registration is still open!

 

For classical players, there's also another chamber music workshop that came onto my radar just recently. The application deadline passed a month ago, but I think I should probably post it so that we don't forget about it in future years.

Adult Chamber Music Intensive - St. Louis, MO, July 29 - Aug. 3
