Summer Music Festival
The Summer Music Festival at Choate Rosemary Hall is an intensive, two week, instrumental music experience for musicians of all ability levels who play the violin, viola, and cello.
Meeting daily for a full week, students participate in play-ins of music repertoire led by experienced teachers and supported by custom symphonic backing tracks and a live festival orchestra. Sessions are designed to expand student knowledge of music theory, history, and technology, in addition to offering daily private lessons, performance classes, recitals, music and movement, and sight-reading.
Summer Music Festival offers:
- Play-ins, group classes, private lessons, music topic sessions, and social time.
- Half-day and full-day programs.
- Sharing time to foster camaraderie and cultural exchange with peers from around the world.
- Programming tailored to a wide range of ability levels.
- Classes taught by instructors who represent artistic institutions and professional ensembles from Choate to across the globe.
