In cooperation with Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, the Chamber Music Festival will also host the Red Cedar String Quartet on the final day of the festival, July 26. This ensemble, made up of doctoral students from Michigan State University, brings together musicians from Italy, Taiwan, China, and the U.S. Each member has studied at prestigious institutions such as the Manhattan School of Music, National Taiwan Normal University, The Hartt School, and the “Niccolò Paganini” Conservatory in Genoa. They are active performers with orchestras across Michigan and are equally dedicated to music education. Their teaching experience includes Suzuki programs, university-level instruction, and leadership roles in the American String Teachers Association. This summer, the Red Cedar Quartet will serve as ensemble-in-residence at the renowned Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp.
