What you will learn

Participants will explore a broad range of techniques and repertoire alongside their peers through a daily regimen of chamber music, string orchestra, interactive workshops, and master classes. The week will culminate in a student concert open to all participants.

*All participants must have a minimum of one year of experience on their instrument.

STRING ORCHESTRA

All participants will rehearse and perform string orchestra music together with the full group.

CHAMBER MUSIC

Participants of similar levels of experience will perform in smaller chamber groups that will be actively coached by faculty.

MASTERCLASSES

Each participant will take part in an intensive masterclass with a member of the faculty, an invaluable experience that combines live instruction and coaching with the experience of performing in front of an audience.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS

Faculty will lead workshops exploring technique, performance practice and much more. Participants will participate in active discussion and experiment with the practical application of diverse musical concepts.

BECAUSE MUSIC MATTERS

MUSIC EDUCATION CHANGES LIVES

We provide access to music education to anyone who seeks it, regardless of economic status, ability, ethnicity, or religion, which has a profound impact on individual lives as well as on our entire community.

We offer Need-based financial assistance

Our goal is to make music education accessible and to remove the financial barrier that may prevent students from participating. Therefore, we offer need-based financial aid to as many students as possible.
