Tuckamore festival 2015 review


The Tuckamore Chamber Music Festival is a chamber music festival in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. It is traditionally held annually in August for two weeks. The festival was co-founded in 2000 by violinist Nancy Dahn and pianist Timothy Steeves, classical musicians who perform together as Duo Concertante. Dahn and Steeves are the current artistic directors of the festival.

Young Artist Program

The Young Artist Program is composed of up to 25 musicians. Violinists, violists, cellists, bassists, or pianists are eligible to apply. Acceptance is based on artistic merit and instrument availability.

The Artistic Directors select repertoire and form the chamber ensembles prior to the Festival.

During the course of the festival, the Young Artists participate in individual rehearsal, private lessons, chamber group rehearsal, chamber music coaching, performance opportunities, masterclasses, and body mapping sessions by a licensed Andover Educator.

Young Composer Program

The Young Composer Program is composed of up to three emerging composers. Unlike the Young Artist Program, this program is one week in duration.

During the week, the students' compositions are work shopped, rehearsed, and performed by the Young Artists and faculty. They also participate in masterclasses and score study.
