The music program is designed for advanced students: ages 18–30 for Strings and Piano, and 21–32 for Composition. Participants are typically current undergraduate or graduate students in music programs, or recent graduates.
The program offers numerous performing opportunities, including recitals and concerts. A highlight of the summer session is a collaborative performance with Fine Arts students, celebrating the creative synergy between the two disciplines.
