Summer music festivals can be great places to meet other
musicians who share similar interests in chamber music. I attended the
Rafael Mendez Institute a few summers ago and it was an excellent learning
experience. The University of Denver in the Lamont School of Music hosts
the camp during mid July each summer. The weeklong seminar offers master
classes, brass chamber playing, lessons, and career clinics. Dedicated to
the memory of Rafael Mendez, large tuition scholarships are available in his
name courtesy of family members. The faculty consists of the members of
the summit brass. I would recommend this camp to someone who would like
to try a summer music engagement without making a huge time commitment. The
camp runs for about a week and concludes with a final concert on which
all the brass ensembles perform.
