Conducting Summer Programs

[RussianMom]

I recommend asking this question in this thread:

Summer Music Festivals 2024

I was wondering what experience anyone might have had somewhat recent experience with the following festivals: Norfolk, Madeline Island, Aria, Heifetz. I realize that other than Heifetz these are all smaller festivals. My son is applying to chamber programs, and these are the ones he mostly wasn’t familiar with before. He’s in his first year of college now. The super-regimented Meadowmount/Green Mountain vibe isn’t his cup of team and he isn’t interested in Aspen. Thanks so much!
