We’re ready for summer – aren’t you? Join us in June for fun and music-making at VYOA Summer Symphony Camp. We’re excited to have you join us.
Summer Symphony Camp introduces middle school musicians to playing in a symphony and jazz orchestra. Musicians perform well-known traditional and contemporary works in a fun and supportive environment while making friends with students from across our region.
Camp is designed for string students entering grades 5 through 9, and wind, brass, and percussion students entering grades 6 through 9, who have at least one year of experience. This week-long intensive focuses on fundamentals and new music styles in a large ensemble setting. In addition to daily rehearsals, campers participate in fun electives such as chorus, world drumming, improvisation, and recreation. Camp closes with a culminating concert for family and friends.
