About CML
Jason Fisher, Director
An intensive full-scholarship program for very advanced high school students, ChamberMusicLab (CML) demands a serious commitment to the study of chamber music. Many CML students have gone on to study at major American and European conservatories. Most CML ensembles learn at least one complete work during the year. Ensembles are encouraged to enter major competitions and to present complete public recitals.
