2025 Summer Student Festival

About the Workshop

The Summer Student Festival presents students with a unique opportunity to explore chamber music by working with a professional string quartet. Directed and coached by the Skyros Quartet, the festival is an incomparable week-long musical learning experience for middle school, high school, and college students. Students participate in daily chamber music coaching and present a student performance for parents, family, and friends on the final day. Enrichment activities include masterclasses, theater arts, yoga and much more. Students develop confidence and individual expressive skills and learn practice techniques for communication and collaboration in group settings – all in a setting that is joyful and fun!
