Rusty Musicians: Summer Camp

Spend five days with us this summer and immerse yourself in music and performance! Join us at the Winspear Centre for this year’s camp under the baton of ESO Resident Conductor, Cosette Justo Valdés. Summer Camp is designed for adult non-professional musicians. With expert instruction from members of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and other professional musicians, this camp provides a unique opportunity for classes, rehearsals, and sectional instruction – all leading up to a performance on the stage of the Winspear Centre! Join your fellow non-pros for five days of intense and fun orchestral study – and fall in love with making music all over again.
