Schedule:

10:00 AM: Strings Chamber Music Camp

Hillsboro Old Stone School, Charles Town Pike, Purcellville, VA, USA

APPLY BY JUNE 15! Early bird discount available through May 15. We can't wait to welcome your strings students ages 12 - 18 (younger students welcome to apply) to our fourth annual day camp!

2:00 PM: Masterclass with violinist Rachelle Hunt

Hillsboro Old Stone School, Charles Town Pike, Purcellville, VA, USA

Selected students are paired with a festival artist and will perform a prepared passage from their current studies. Other participants and audience members will observe as the student has a one-on-one mini-lesson where they have an opportunity to receive feedback and guidance to improve not just the selected passage, but to apply to their practice and apply widely as they grow as a musician. The performer and observing students all benefit from this type of work - we're excited to offer this new opportunity for 2024!
