Wheaton College Summer Institute, Music Experience
Considering Collegiate Music Study?
Join us for a distinctively Christian music experience for high school students entering grades 11 and 12. Formerly known as the Summer Music Camp, the Summer Music Experience is an expanded version now being offered under the Wheaton College Summer Institute.
SAVE THE DATE: June 19 through July 2, 2022
Students who enroll in the Summer Institute's music experience course, Music Immersion for the Performing Artist will get to experience life as a Wheaton College Conservatory student. Like our undergraduate students, those attending the summer music program will get to study with our faculty in private lessons, master classes, and chamber ensemble experiences. The course is designed to guide young artists as they grow in their faith and understanding of what it means to be a Christian musician. Other activities include faculty recitals, student performances, repertoire study, and exploring the arts in the city of Chicago with visits to the Art Institute, the Grant Park Symphony, Ravinia Festival, and more!
