ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø's summers have something for everyone.
Interested in summer activities for your K-12 student?
Check out our available summer options in academics, arts and sports. Please refer to individual programs linked below for specific program information. During the academic year the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Max Shacknai Center for Outreach, Volunteerism, and Education (COVE) offers academic opportunities for high school students. The university does not offer any summer courses, but many ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø students remain on campus throughout the summer to conduct high-level research with faculty members.
This well-balanced program offers young people between the ages of 12-18 the opportunity to pursue musical studies through individual, class, and group instruction; to perform a wide range of instrumental and choral works in ensemble and concert; and to participate in supervised sports and other informal "fun" activities. The program builds confidence, teaches concentration, offers social opportunities, and helps develop sensitivity to, and pride in, the beautiful things in life.
This is a unique experience on one of the most beautiful college campuses in the country that provides confidence, fun, and an excellent music education for students of various abilities. Enroll in this popular program while space is still available.
For seven decades, musicians from all over the world have gathered each summer to play chamber music and to grow as musicians. What attracts these musicians, and brings them back, is the love of playing chamber music, the chance to learn from world-class performers and teachers, and the joy of seeing old friends and making new ones.
The Conference runs for four weeks in July and August. Most participants attend for one or two weeks. Conference participants comprise amateur musicians who range in age and ability, and who play strings (violin, viola, cello, and double bass), woodwinds (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn), piano, voice, and harp. All participants share a passion for chamber music and the desire for an intensive and rewarding learning experience.
KentMusic offers experienced string players the opportunity to spend six days intensively studying major works from the string quartet repertoire. Participants receive high-level coaching from world-class performing musicians, attend lectures and concerts by the faculty artists and have ample time for informal quartet readings and socializing. There are two public concerts on Wednesday, June 17, and Saturday, June 20, in the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Memorial Chapel.
