Chamber music is an essential aspect of music making in the music program at UW-EC. Performing with a smaller group of musicians in a chamber group provides students with the opportunity to further develop their musicianship skills and to form close bonds with their peers. Chamber music groups exist across the music program and are formed in various ways. Some of these ensembles are extensions of a studio, some are formed by faculty, and some are classes in which any student can enroll. It is best to inquire in the Music and Theatre Arts Department with any questions you have.

Eileen Phillips Cohen String Scholarship
All four members of the Eileen Phillips Cohen String Quartet receive full in-state tuition for the academic year, and there is the potential for the scholarship to cover a full four-year degree. Financial need is not a consideration. The Quartet is coached regularly by UW-EC string faculty, is featured at major departmental and university events, and provides regular recitals. The recipients of the scholarships are also expected to be leaders of the University Symphony Orchestra. The generosity of the L.E. Phillips Family Foundation has created an opportunity for music students through this scholarship rarely seen at the undergraduate level.
