Summer

The Summer Intensive Program offers string players in grades 6-12 coachings with musicians from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Atlanta Opera, master classes with guest artists from all over the United States, and other educational classes in related disciplines.

Pre-formed groups are encouraged to apply. Members of a pre-formed group may audition individually or as a group (see audition requirements for details).

Every effort is made by the faculty to place students in a group that is commensurate with their ability, age, and temperament.  We may turn away some students for whom the right match is not found with the understanding that placing them in an unsuitable group would not be a rewarding or valuable experience.

The Summer Intensive schedule includes:

• • 1-2 full days of coachings and masterclasses per week from June 27 through August 1
  • Required minimum of 3 hours of extra rehearsal time per week
  • Four day retreat at University of North Georgia
  • Multiple community outreach performances
  • Formal performance at the close of the summer

**All events for the Summer Intensive Program will be carried out in accordance with social distancing policies put in place by the CDC.

Tuition: $1,500 (scholarships available with audition and teacher recommendation)
