The Heartland Chamber Music Festival is an exciting 6 days of music making, both chamber and large ensemble, accompanied by master classes, lectures and student/faculty/guest artist performances! Open to all orchestral instruments and pianists, each student aged 12-30, is selected by audition to work one-on-one with internationally renowned faculty members who have gathered for the festival with the purpose of inspiring and nurturing the students' development.  

​

This year, the Ensemble-in-Residence is none other than the electric Ulysses String Quartet, who will play a side-by-side concert with the Festival Scholar Quartet, in addition to mentoring, rehearsing, and inspiring festival enrolled students for the entirety of the festival. The finale will conclude with a performance of Stravinsky's Firebird, as well as several orchestral solo appearances featuring members of the Ulysses.

​

All performances take place in Yardley Hall or Polsky Theatre at the Midwest Trust Center at JCCC.
