2026 Syllabus - Chamber Groups
CHAMBER GROUPS refer to music written for three, four, or five instruments played with one instrument to a "part", all the parts having equal importance.
Members can include any combination of recognized orchestral instruments including strings, woodwinds, brass, harp, guitar, recorder, and/or percussion, with or without piano and/or one voice singer.
Classes are grouped by RCM/CC level.
Memorization is optional, but strongly encouraged.
Participants must provide the adjudicator with an original copy of the music chosen. Failure to do so will result in a "for adjudication only" performance.
