International Chamber Music Summer School

Queen Anne’s School, Caversham 8-15 August 2026

Apply for the course

Applications for ICMSS 2026 will open on 1 January 2026.

We invite applications from players of violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, horn and piano. Because we need to achieve a balance of instruments and skills, we regret that we may not be able to accept all applications. If you are not immediately accepted, you have the option of going on a waiting list.

The fee is £830 for the week which includes accommodation, meals, and tutored sessions throughout the week. There is a supplement for en-suite facilities.

Applications are submitted using a google docs form. Shortly after we receive your application, we will tell you whether you have been accepted on the course, and ask you to pay the deposit of £100.

Some time later, we will give you further information about paying the balance of the course fee with joining instructions, the music schedule and so on.
