The concert band camps will be held from July 11-16. These camps accommodate musicians of varying ages and levels of ability. The camps will once again be run by Ardith Haley and will feature an impressive roster of faculty.
We have redesigned our summer jazz program as an intensive workshop experience. The jazz workshop will be directed by Mark Adam from Acadia and Paul Tynan from St. FX and will feature an impressive faculty including Dave Staples, Tom Easley, and special guest Mike Murley!
This year we are also starting a summer string festival. This is targeted mainly to high school and undergraduate string players and will feature intensive lessons and coaching sessions, ensemble work, and chamber and solo performing opportunities. The festival will be directed by Symphony Nova Scotia Concertmaster and Acadia violin instructor Robert Uchida. Faculty will include Norm Adams, principal cello from Symphony Nova Scotia, and Dave Stewart from the University of Ottawa.
Finally, we hold a new guitar camp. This will feature opportunities for guitarists to study classical, jazz, or popular guitar styles. The camp will be Directed by Ken Davidson and the faculty will be announced soon.
The jazz, string, and guitar programs will run July 4-9.
Stay tuned for more information!
Jeff
