Apply to Participate

Thank you for your interest in the Summer Music Festival. Our application will be available on January 2nd, 2025.

Individual Program

We recognize that each student who applies to our program has unique needs, and we strive to serve players of all ages and ability levels regardless of their background. If you are unsure how the format of our program will suit your needs, please reach out to our Festival Directors. In some cases, this means that students of exceptional ability and/or need(s) will receive scheduling assistance to best serve their personal growth and overall festival experience, beyond the static definitions of our published class descriptions. Our mission as educators is to seek a seamless integration of artistic experiences for all students in a supportive and nurturing environment that promotes creativity, equality, diversity, and access. Making this happen requires an extraordinary amount of flexibility that can only happen in smaller programs like ours.

Auditions

New applicants MUST submit a video recording of their playing within the past year that best demonstrates their current ability level. This will assist our faculty in crafting the most appropriate festival experience for each student. This is optional for returning applicants. Please feel free to send these directly to the festival directors at: [email protected]

Tuition

Tuition costs for 2025 will be available on January 2nd, 2025.

Our tuition each season reflects a desire to present a comprehensive and meaningful program while also making it financially accessible for a wide range of participants. Need-based and merit-based scholarships are in development as well.
