Thrive City Boot Camp filling up fast!

Posted on by dcms

Our Summer Thrive City Boot Camp is almost full!

This years’ participants hail from all over the lower mainland with ages ranging from 12-71 years old!  We have space for 25 students and there are 6 spots remaining, which will be filled on a first come, first served basis:

Violin: 3 spots available
Viola: 2 spots available
Cello: 1 spot available

We have spoken with a few teachers who missed the application deadline, but still want their students to participate. The camp dates are July 18-31, 2012 (no camp on Sundays). I would strongly urge you to encourage your students to submit applications and recordings ASAP.

One really great development this year: World renowned violinist, Herbert Greenberg (head of the String Department of the Peabody Conservatory of Music), will be taking a short leave from the Aspen Music Festival to work with our students for 4 days – presenting masterclasses, working with individual classes, and performing for and with our participants.
