COVID-19 Statement
We are aware that the current situation regarding COVID-19 is constantly changing, and may impact our ability to host a normal camp session in summer, 2021.
We plan to open registration in February, and will have a contingency option for reduced density and online options if necessary for this summer.

During the festival, students will rehearse, perform, and receive a high level of group and individual music instruction, enhancing their technical and collaborative skills.
