Experience HHCMI
Hilton Head Chamber Music Institute will take place from June 12 – 22, 2024.
Founded in 2018, Hilton Head Chamber Music Institute (HHCMI) provides an intensive training program focused on the art of small ensemble playing. Designed for outstanding young musicians from across the United States who possess a strong focus on chamber music performance, the program is led by world-renowned violinist, Carolyn Huebl and cellist, Felix Wang, faculty members from the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University.
The highly individualized program encompasses coaching, masterclasses, one-on-one instruction, special workshops and professional performance experience at SoundWaves, the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra’s new, state-of-the-art island headquarters.
Surrounded by the serene beauty of the island, our mission is to offer a congenial and rigorous environment that fosters student-faculty collaboration, musical study and inquiry. HHCMI will have a special focus on preparing students to be lifelong musicians who balance the highest level of performance with enjoyment of life.
Participants will spend ten days on the beautiful Hilton Head Island including daily classes, free time, and group activities highlighting the many experiences the island has to offer!
