Jump to photos

We are proud to announce our 2026 String Camp instructors! Camp classes include instrument/vocal instruction as well as ensemble (band) and workshop courses, so even if you study just one instrument you will have the opportunity to work with multiple staff members. Our staff are both performers and educators, and have toured and taught at some of the most prestigious and exciting venues across the world, many of them have also been recognized with various nominations and awards. But, more than that-they are collaborators and friends.
