The Phoenix Ensemble is a
nonprofit arts organization based in Ann Arbor and dedicated to helping artists and the educational
community.
The seventh annual Phoenix Phest! offers high-quality instruction in a supportive atmosphere infused with the
joy of making music. Amateur musicians of all ages have the opportunity to play in pre-formed or Phoenix-
phormed ensembles and be coached by experienced professional musicians. A low instructor-to-student ratio
ensures a thorough learning experience.
The Phest models peaceful, productive cooperation in the practice of art and in the encouragement of
deepened human contacts and lifelong learning. Coaching is provided by members of the Phoenix Quartet
and other performer/teachers who come from around the United States. Students will spend their time working
intensively as part of a small ensemble to prepare a chamber music piece and perform it. The entire Phest
community of students and faculty will also rehearse and perform a large-group piece at the final concert.
PhoenixPhest is led by violinist Gabriel Bolkosky, executive director of the nonprofit Phoenix Ensemble. The
organization is completing its first decade as a resource to artists and the educational community in Ann Arbor.
PhoenixPhest! is held at Greenhills School in northeast Ann Arbor, and the faculty and student concerts take
place in Greenhills’ Campbell Center for the Performing Arts. We are grateful to Greenhills School for their
active support of PhoenixPhest!

Plus, it is fun!
How to Participate
Phest participants have included students from ages six to 60 and above. They have ranged in level from
players just learning to read music to serious university students and those preparing to embark on careers
as professional musicians. What they have in common is the desire to come together as a community and
work on music together in a noncompetitive atmosphere.
To maintain the amount of personal attention and the collegial atmosphere that make the Phest special,
enrollment will be strictly limited with an aim of no more than 50 participants.
To ensure a quality experience for all, the final deadline for registration is April 4, 2008. You are strongly
encouraged to register as soon as possible. Earlier registrants get a tuition discount!
