Summer Music Camps For Adults – The Choral Edition

/0 Comments/in /by

How about spending part of your summer elevating your skills at a music camp for adults? 

There are plenty of choices, here in Austin, in Texas and all over the US. 

There is, of course, the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan. 

Gary Gatzke Associate Director of Continuing and Community Education says there’s a wait list for many of the camps they offer. 

There’s also Berkshire Choral International, a summer choral camp offering performances in some of the most prestigious places in the world. 

In Austin, there’s the summer program for Alumni of the Texas State University’s Choral Program.

On Part Two of Summer Music Camps for Adults, the focus will be on camps specifically for musicians and their instruments. Listen for it during the week of May 18th. 

The Young Masters

Imagine what it must be like to have someone give you a free trip to the arts camp you’ve always wanted to attend.

That happened to 15 high school students all over Texas via the Young Masters Program of the Texas Commission on the Arts and the Texas Cultural Trust. 

Lerchen Zhong of Westwood High School in Round Rock is the only local student chosen for the program.  He already knows where he wants to spend his summer. 

Dr. Gary Gibbs, the executive director of the Texas Commission On The Arts says the grants are for all disciplines in the arts.
