SUMMER MUSIC ACADEMY
2025
During August 2025, our festival offers two weeks of orchestra, chamber music, and solo performance training for young musicians aged 9 to 16.
Instrumentalists, including pianists, are expected to play in the orchestra, participate in chamber music rehearsals, and attend and perform at open masterclasses. While the main focus is on orchestra performance, students will also have the opportunity to learn new solo repertoire with piano accompanists and receive valuable feedback from teachers, many of whom are guest artists at our festival.
Additionally, the orchestra will perform a short program at our upcoming festival at the Academy of Music Ballroom (Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts) on September 27th, 2025. Orchestra players will have their tuition fully covered when performing at the festival. Students interested in playing a solo piece at the September festival will be invited to perform without an audition or the $100 audition fee.
