About the Workshop

The Midsummer Musical Retreat is a week-long music “camp” for adult amateur musicians involving  275 participants. MMR is unique in its expansive scope: each day, instrumentalists – strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, and vocalists receive coaching from top-tier professional musicians. The repertoire spans genres and eras, and campers learn about stylistic traditions of each musical period, and gain an understanding of music themes and harmonic patterns in each piece. The stimulating learning experiences take place in a supportive environment that maximizes learning and fosters connection with fellow musicians.

The Midsummer Musical Retreat Society’s mission is to foster an inclusive, non-competitive learning environment that encourages the preparation and performance of music by a diverse community of amateur and professional musicians
