The Eastern Music Festival and School is one of this country’s foremost training programs for aspiring young musicians between the ages of 14 and 22, presented within the nationally known summer music festival.
For more than 45 years, the central focus of the Eastern Music Festival and School has remained the needs of the pre-professional student. The School at EMF limits enrollment to no more than 200 students, making this unique program “up close and personal,” ensuring access to faculty, visiting artists and artistic staff, and creating an extremely nurturing and friendly environment.
EMF challenges you to discover your best, and learn how to push beyond. For five weeks between June 26 and July 31, 2010, visiting artists, faculty and students gather on the beautiful campus of Guilford College in North Carolina to study, rehearse and perform the world’s great orchestral, chamber and piano literature. Instruction includes private lessons, orchestral experience, concerts, master classes, chamber music studies, and music-related classes in a collegial and professional environment.
Thanks for the add. You good folks do terrific work in encouraging and promoting upcoming artists at your excellent festival. May I invite you to tune in to the nationally syndicated "House of Blues Radio Hour" with Dan Aykroyd on April 25-26, when I (a Boston area artist) have the honor of being the "BLUESBREAKER". See (bluesmobile.com) for the preview. Please check out the song clips from my acclaimed debut CD, Dawn of a Waking Man. Best regard, Rick Pisano
