Summer Strings

The Virginia Arts Festival is conducting a Summer Strings residency program for select high school musicians in Hampton Roads.

The Virginia Arts Festival hosts a Summer Strings residency program for select high school musicians in Hampton Roads.

This workshop experience includes musical coaching with professional musicians, conductors, and instructors through chamber orchestra rehearsals, theory, history, and movement courses. Special attention is given in the selection of the musical works and in the music history sessions to highlight a diverse set of composers that students might otherwise not learn about in their traditional school curriculums.

The residency experience culminates in a performance at the historic Attucks Theatre - this year on Saturday, August 10 at 2pm. 
Free and open to the public – everyone is welcome to come celebrate a successful week of learning with these students!
