"I think if I were to sum it up, for me it felt like there was more of an emphasis at GLCMI on creativity and exploration rather than just getting a piece learned really well. This was by far the best chamber music experience I’ve ever had and the most incredible and well-spent two weeks of my summer. I’ve never felt so cared for by faculty; I’d return in a heartbeat."
