The Nazarian Chamber Music Program for Outstanding Students was founded at the Jerusalem Academy for Music and Dance in 2013. The program includes more than 40 students in varied instruments, who are carefully chosen in an audition process. Students that are accepted to the program receive a full tuition scholarship.
Students in the program are divided into chamber music groups that meet intensively during the year and receive weekly coaching from distinguished professors. The groups are granted many performance opportunities on stages both in Israel and internationally as well as many community setting concerts. The Dina Turgeman chamber music competition is the highlight of the activity in the program.
The playing of Chamber music allows the students to contend with the canonic works of the chamber music repertoire. Striving towards high level performance enables the students to face instrumental challenges as well as educational challenges which create and rich environment for meaningful dialogue.
