Come hear the future of classical music! These free concerts will feature inspiring chamber music performances by talented young musicians from around the globe!

Visit Sonoma State's recently-completed Green Music Center and enjoy chamber music masterpieces as well as exciting world premieres by our talented young composers. Each concert in this series will feature chamber music masterpieces, performed in their entirety. Additionally, these concerts are a rare opportunity to witness a world premiere performance, since each one will feature new works composed by our talented young composers.

CSM's performers and composers are selected by audition and represent some of the most talented young musicians from their regions. After each concert, audience members are invited to a reception where they may meet the performers, composers and CSM faculty members.

The faculty concert on July 8th will feature an exciting mix of new and old compositions for both solo and chamber ensembles performed by our world-class faculty.

California Summer Music is a festival for talented young composers, pianists, violinists, violists, and cellists. Since 1996, CSM has offered a series of admission-free concerts and master classes. During the 3-1/2 week session in July, talented young musicians from around the globe are offered private lessons, solo performance, and chamber music in two courses of study: the Composition Program and the Performance Program (strings and piano). The faculty, led by cellist Irene Sharp, represents some of the most outstanding professional musicians and music educators in the U.S. and around the world. Alumni can be found touring the world as soloists and in the world's top orchestras and chamber ensembles.
