Join us for the string area’s annual Vivaldi concert, featuring first year students as soloists in the intimate Lani Hall. UCLA Camarades (“The Music of Friends”) is the title given to the chamber music program that is guided and driven by the String Department. It offers superior coaching to all ensembles incorporating strings, from trios to octets, with a special consideration to the rich string quartet literature. These endeavors of study and instruction are crowned by quarterly concerts and form the basis of the group’s essential experience on stage.
