Attention, STRING PLAYERS! 🎻
For the very first time, LPPF will not be just about you and your four strings. String participants will not only showcase their individual solo performances but also take part in exciting String Ensembles. Join us in an expanded version of a Chamber Ensemble comprising hundreds of strings this year. Participants will collaborate as leaders and team players in the spirit of making music and having fun.
Under the guidance of expert ensemble coaches, you’ll develop your skills, learn the art of ensemble teamwork, and connect with fellow players of all ages and skill levels.
String players of all ages are welcome. There’s something for everyone – whether you’re a beginner or an
experienced player.
String Ensemble Workshop For all String Participants (New!)
All solo strings performers will be required to participate in the String Ensemble Workshop on June 14th & 15th 2025. Please reserve both dates for the exciting experience.
To help facilitate the grouping of participants, participants are required to submit their video recording of the String Ensemble Workshop excerpts during their application.
String players of all ages are welcome. There’s something for everyone – whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player.
