UQ Chamber Academy
The UQ Chamber Music Academy (UQCMA) provides a rich, supportive environment for exceptional pre-tertiary musicians to hone their ensemble skills and artistic expression. Situated within The University of Queensland School of Music, the Academy offers personalized mentorship from renowned faculty and guest artists, fostering a deep engagement with chamber music through weekly coaching sessions, masterclasses, and performances.
Our mission is to inspire a lifelong passion for chamber music performance, equipping students with the skills to thrive in various professional and personal contexts. We believe that chamber music cultivates emotional intelligence, adaptability, teamwork, and critical thinking - qualities essential not just for future musicians but also for the leaders of tomorrow.
At UQCMA, chamber music is an expression of life and humanity, encompassing our triumphs, challenges, sorrows, and joys. More than an art form, it is a powerful means of communication. We are committed to nurturing this communicative skill, guiding students as they explore their identities and aspirations for the future.
