2021 Update
We are excited to celebrate our 20th-anniversary making music together in person! The faculty artists are hired, and our artists in residence have been booked and students are enrolling!
We are working closely with our partners at Midwest Trust and are monitoring the public health situation and the recommendations and guidelines of the CDC. Our goal is for everything to be conducted in person as safe as possible. We all must remain flexible and know that plans may change along the way. The health and safety of our students, faculty, and guests will remain our highest priority throughout the festival. If we are unable to host the entire festival in person all but $50 of your application fee will be refunded. The remaining $50 will cover your enrollment in a virtual version of the festival.
