The Adult Chamber Music Program at the Mason Gross School of the Arts
The mission of the The Adult Chamber Music Program (ACMP) is to educate, motivate, and inspire excellence and artistry at every level of chamber music performance.
Under the direction of Dr. Allison Brewster Franzetti, the Adult Chamber Music Program at Mason Gross is designed for non-professional, adult musicians – instrumentalists and vocalists – who are passionate about chamber music. Participants rehearse with fellow enthusiasts, and coach with members of the Extension Division’s world-class faculty, assisted by interns from the Mason Gross Music Department.
This program is specially configured to work with the Rutgers University calendar, making it ideal for participation by Rutgers students, faculty & staff.
All ensembles within the Chamber Music at Mason Gross Program – including the Adult Chamber Music Program – meet for a total of 14 sessions throughout the academic year.
