Kaleidoscope Music Camp
Come Play with Us!
|
Why put your instrument away for the summer? Wittenberg University's School of Community Education and The Springeld Symphony Orchestra invite you to keep up
with and enhance your skills by participating in the 9th annual Kaleidoscope
Music Camp. The Kaleidoscope Camp supports elementary, junior and
senior high students involved in orchestral music programs or private study.
Work with and learn from professionals from Wittenberg
University's Center for Musical Development and musicians from The
Springeld Symphony Orchestra. You will have the chance to show off what
you have learned in a student/coach recital. In addition, several
honor students will be chosen to perform with the Springeld Symphony
on July 8 for the Summer Arts Festival in Veterans Park.
This year's camp promises an exciting five days of fun,
friendship, and learning while making music together. We hope to see you
on June 26th!
