The Young Artists Summer Camp is focused as a musical experience, comprising instrument technique, our “Building an Artist” masterclasses and chamber music.

Many of our professors at the Summer Camp are alumni of the School with years of professional experience in orquestras and musical teaching, and are selected under the academic criteria of the School. All our instructors are qualified, and are in charge of organising the students and making sure they feel at home.

The programme divides the students in chamber music groups at the start of the first week and makes the most out of our facilities, where the students receive their individual and group education.

The programme is designed for students of intermediate and upper level with at least two years of experience playing an instrument. Candidates will be selected according to teachers’ criteria.

Intensive Spanish classes as well as scholarships covering up to 40% of the program cost are available.
