<p>Anybody has experience with the Chautauqua Orchestra Program?</p>
<p>Is it competitive? Is it good?</p>
<p>We discovered it recently and had never heard of it but we are thinking of having my daughter apply so she has more chances of getting a summer program.</p>
<p>Any input is welcome. thanks!</p>
<p>Chautauqua Music Festival?? Yes, it is competitive and well regarded. The faculty is generally quite fine - haven’t checked this year’s. Live auditions are offered at various major conservatories and music schools.</p>
<p>I’ve known string students through the years who have attended - don’t have specific horn knowledge. </p>
<p>Many participants that I’ve known were conservatory and “top” music school students. I’ve also known some under college age that attended including students from Juilliard pre-college and high school students of “elite” teachers outside of NYC. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
