“Listening to the exceptional skill of these extraordinarily talented young musicians I couldn’t help but think how unique they are today in a world of instant gratification, easy distraction, and crass commercialism.  Here are people who have devoted years to developing a technique apart from the frivolous pastimes of their peers, steeping themselves in a high order of challenge and devotion – a realm of music that requires the cultivation of both a mind and soul.”

“One of the most prestigious and intimate of summer music schools in the country.”

“One of the Nation’s most elite summer music conservatories.”
