She plays viola. She has done lots of programs but last summer was at Green Mountain and loved it. Lots of her buddies from there were accepted at Brevard and all are trying to figure out where to go this summer.

Has anyone heard from WNO Opera Institute?
D accepted to Brevard and EMF - will go to Tanglewood though. Did anyone hear from the NYO2 waitlist?
Good luck to everyone with their summer acceptances!

@violincellomom Congrats to your kid! What a great news!
Thanks! (the violist is actually a student I teach, by my daughter is attending NYO this summer) Congrats to yours too- my D attended YAO in 2019 and absolutely loved it! I remember that she raved about how amazing the wind players were!!

My D was waitlisted at Bowdoin, so she is pleased with that. Also waiting for Miami Music Festival results. Maybe one other? And her orchestra concert Sunday at Luther College was great to hear (Brahms and more)!

Well, my D just heard she received a full tuition and housing fellowship to Miami Beach Music Festival! Pretty amazing to hear such news! 
Hope everyone is starting to see summer on the horizon!

@dasanistrumpet, congrats, my D23 is going to BUTI too, flute intensive and orchestra programs. Which program will you be attending? We are also visiting BU next week for general admissions tour and tour of their School of Music.
This will be her first time at BUTI, so cannot share much in terms of the experience. Other than she is very excited!
Several people shared their thoughts on BUTI earlier in this thread.

Thank you @RussianMom
My S22 is doing the YA Orchestra, declined the trumpet intensive as he didn’t want to be away for 8 weeks the summer before he heads to college (got to leave some time for dorm shopping, ha!)
For anyone who’s been in NYO/NYO2 (he was last year), how does BUTI compare in terms of rigor and challenge?

My D22 is a string player who attended NYO last year and BUTI in 2019. She thought the wind players in both groups were amazing, and strings in both also great, but would probably give the edge to NYO over BUTI for strings. She loved the opportunity at BUTI to have private lessons, play chamber music, and attend BSO and other professional concerts and masterclasses, so overall really enjoyed the experience. Congrats to your son- I’m sure it is extremely competitive to win a spot for wind players!
