Chamber Faculty

Students enrolled in chamber music perform for their peers and for world-class guest artists in a weekly performance class led by Yvonne Lam and Tasha Warren. In addition, chamber groups are coached by Michigan State University College of Music’s excellent faculty and take advantage of the numerous performance opportunities available on and off campus.
