The LAM Summer Symposium 2024

recommended for ages 12-18
Apply by March 29th, 2024
Join us for this one of a kind musical program in a supportive learning community, open to all levels. During the 2 week program students choose between chamber music (collaborative music making) or composition (creative music making) tracks. The 3:1 faculty to student ratio provides an immersive experience prioritizing each student's growth. We build community through symposium-wide sessions, beginning each morning with movement or mindfulness and ending with workshops led by local, regional, and national guest artists with programming in observance of Juneteenth. The programming at the symposium is truly a blend of tradition and innovation.
Tuition: $675.
Multi-class discounts apply and financial aid is available HERE.
*acceptance is based on capacity and groupings based on the level of other students who apply. Because we are working in such an intimate setting we prioritize the educational placement of each student in an appropriate group.
Choosing a track
Chamber students will be placed in small groups with students at a similar level. They will work collaboratively with their peers to prepare for a performance while they build essential musicianship skills with faculty members in coaching sessions and enrichment classes.
Composition students will be writing an original piece for a professional trio from LAM. They will work in a group and one-on-one to write their pieces and then workshop them with the performers. Their works will be professionally recorded at the end of the 2 weeks.
