About CMC 2026
Chamber Music Collective is a summer music program for students who are passionate about exploring the world of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century chamber music using historical technologies and techniques. This year’s intensive Chamber Music Collective, a six- day program, will take place on Cornell University’s campus from June 21-June 26, 2026. Our thematic focus will be Recreation: We will explore this concept in its multitude of meanings through the repertoire of this year’s CMC. Faculty members include Sezi Seskir and Roger Moseley (keyboards and improvisation), Jean Bernard Cerin (voice), Keiran Campbell and Lucy Russell (strings), Timothy Pyper (Alexander technique) and Mark Ferraguto (improvisation). Our program is entirely tuition free. This year participants will arrive on the 20th of June, rehearse with their groups on the 21st and instruction will start on the 22rd of June. We will share the results of our work together in three concerts on the 23rd, 25th and 26th of June. More information about the concerts can be found under events.
