Chamber Music Northwest's Protégé Project introduces Portland audiences to the next generation of chamber music all-stars. Follow the season-long mentorship process as CMNW festival artists cultivate emerging professionals through a variety of activities, including mainstage collaborations and public master classes.

Protégé Project artists also engage in community outreach, traveling to senior centers, chamber music camps for youth and public areas for family friendly events, plus appear on CMNW's alternative "Club Series" concerts.

Past members of this program include the Jasper and Amphion string quartets, Romie de Guise-Langlois, Amy Yang, Sooyun Kim, and several others. 2012 Summer Festival Protégé Project information will be available in the spring.
