Summer 2025 Dates: July 28 – August 1
Are you ready for Summer Strings Camp?
Strings Camp is a fabulous way to keep your music skills sharp and growing over the summer. It’s a fun way to spend time with your orchestra peers and meet new friends! If you’re new to the Philharmonic Orchestra or planning to audition, this is a great way to become involved so that you feel that sense of belonging from day 1 when orchestra rehearsals begin in the fall.
Strings camp dates for Summer 2025 will be July 28 – August 1
