SUMMER CAMPS, INSTITUTES The 2019 Musical America Guide & PROGRAMS November 2018 Editor’s Note SUMMER CAMPS, A friend of mine who edits books by day and plays the violin (rather well) by night says her The 2019 Musical America Guide summer “chamber music camp” is the highlight of her year. She describes one week of coaching INSTITUTES and performing in a string quartet, where many of the campers are new faces. The season is summer; the setting is bucolic—a college campus—and the attire is strictly casual. & PROGRAMS In our second annual Summer Camps, Institutes, and Programs Guide, you’ll find a number of these music-as-avocation summertime happenings, along with many pre-professional programs, for pre-teens to post grads. Some focus strictly on classical music; others cross over into pop and cabaret and some offer a full range, from jazz to band, theater, dance, and even the visual arts. The pre-college programs also tend to include the more traditional camp fare, such as horseback riding and archery. The Guide contains nearly 200 national and international listings. Some combine learning from the pros by day with listening to them perform by night. Others put the talent-in-training on stage and charge admission. Some take place over a weekend, others last all summer. At the Salzburg Summer Music Academy, 1,000 students work with a faculty of 70; at the Bang on a Can Summer Festival, the count is 40 teachers to 11 students; at NYO Jazz, it’s 22 to 10; at Tanglewood it’s 155 to 75. Some are free, some are decidedly not. Virtually all of the pre-professional institutes require an audition of some kind, while those for the very young steer clear of a competitive atmosphere. My friend’s chamber music camp matches its participants ahead of time by requiring a recording with the application; other non-professional adult camps require no audition, or simply check skill level after arrival. The listings in the Guide, along with those in the data base (made free for the month of November), provide many options for musical self-improvement, with the added summertime bonuses of fun, friendship, and warm weather. Sounds good to me. Regards, Susan Elliott Editor, Special Reports COVER CREDIT: Festival Napa Valley 2018 PHOTO: Paul E.
