This course, led by clarinettist Heather Roche and cellist Erik Borgir, explores chamber music of our time as a dynamic space for collaboration, experimentation, and artistic exchange. Rather than a traditional masterclass structure, the course emphasises process and discovery. Through coached rehearsals, collaborative workshops, and open discussions, participants will investigate rehearsal strategies, communication within ensembles, interpretative decision-making, and the practical realities of contemporary chamber music-making today. Participants will have opportunities to form new collaborations, and to perform for the wider festival community.

The course offers a collaborative approach to the interpretation of open-form ensemble works by experimental composer-improvisers Annea Lockwood, George Lewis, Pauline Oliveros, and Terry Riley. The course is facilitated by the flutist and interdisciplinary artist Claire Chase - a teacher at Harvard and Juilliard universities. A special component of the course will be the presence of the composer Annea Lockwood, who will work with participants on her improvisation-based ensemble work bayou-borne. The course will culminate in public performances at the Time of Music festival. Welcome to the international festival & summer academy at the idyllic lakeside town Viitasaari, Finland!
