It would be a great help to me and perhaps others if we could add two bits of info when posting about programs, if known -- age of students (HS or college) and level - generally, or best guess - of the students. Something like we do for colleges. Ultra selective/conservatory level to beginners/takes all comers.

Thanks Cosmo for doing all this background work for all the readers of this board. I know many will appreciate and benefit!

Now, with apologies, I know many advanced PRE-COLLEGE (not necessarliy high school age yet) students who have attended Aspen, IU String Academy, Bowdoin and POSTGRADUATE students who have attended Ravinia/Steans, MAW, etc. I wonder if we could amend the listing to indicate "aproximate age, check websites for specific programs to determine if specific ages are required, or if general ability is assessed" or something of that nature?

Also, add to the listing:

Meadowmount: advanced violin, viola, cello and piano, ages 8 - 30
Meadowmount School of Music - Summer School for String Players - Chamber Music

Cosmos - I'm curious - it looks like the dates are in September. How do you work that around school?

IU String Academy is for precollege only - starts age 12, but younger kids can go if parents go along. I don't think there's anyone there over 18.

binx,
My university starts Sept 29 so I'm able to go. It would be a challenge for a lot of school schedules though.

Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival - Burlington, VT (at University of Vermont). College, graduate and high school students. Focus can be chamber music or solo. Artistic Director - Kevin Lawrence (NC School of the Arts)

June 29 - July 26, 2008

Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival

A relatively new festival, this year is the 4th season. Violinist son attended last year and LOVED it. There were a handful of students a bit younger than high school age, a good bunch of high school aged kids and lots of college students. I'm not sure how many grad students attended.
