Over the course of the Institute, performers/ensembles will rehearse pre-existing and newly composed repertoire alongside Yarn/Wire members and work with composer/creator participants to create new collaborative projects, which will be presented as part of Institute Festival concerts. They will also participate in private lessons and coaching sessions with Institute faculty, as well as masterclasses, workshops, and discussions led by guest artists. 

Performers of any instrument or voice type, ages 18 and up, were invited to apply; pre-formed chamber ensembles (unconducted up to 8 players) were also encouraged to apply to work on existing or new repertoire. 

The Yarn/Wire Institute is made possible with support from the Robert D. Bielecki Foundation, Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne, and Augustine Foundation.
