Welcome to EYSO’s Summer Chamber Music Camp Concert: 2020 edition!

It’s EYSO’s Summer Chamber Music Camp: 2020 edition. It’s been an atypical year, but the week of July 27-31 has meant our first chance to meet in person and make music together since March.

We want to share the joy and the music this week has created, so join us for livestreamed performances by SCMC ensembles – see the students performing together in real-time right from your computer or mobile device!

Performances will start on Friday, July 31 at 6:00pm. See below for a complete schedule and concert details.

Message from the Chamber Music Institute Director


The campus at Elgin Academy has been a garden of musical delights this week. Canopies scatter the lawn sheltering excited young musicians as their sweet musical creations drift in the air across pathways and into open windows.

Chamber music is an art form predicated on an intimacy between musicians, and with 6 foot distances and masked faces there was a chance that students at 2020’s Summer Chamber Music Camp would struggle to create that special connection. But I have to applaud the drive and enthusiasm of the students and staff this week, because by the end of the first day, the joyful sounds of music and laughter were already blending.

While I’m sure none of us love the reminders to spread out, mask up, sanitize hands (the list goes on and on) - there have been no complaints, only understanding and best efforts. And the music has triumphed over it all!

Please cheer these fantastic students on from home during these live digital performances, streamed straight from Sears Gallery as the final celebration of this week of growth, challenge, and collaboration.
