HI: My son was just accepted to Eastman SUmmer Classical Studies for violin in the orchestra. He was also accepted to Interlochen and Point Counterpoint. Can you tell me a little more about Eastman? The program looks amazing. It’s part of the community school connected to Eastman. It sounds amazing.

Any 2022 or past BUTI/Tanglewood students or parents here? D23 committed to a 2-week instrument intensive and their orchestra program. We are figuring out her summer logistics and details. Anyone can share BUTI dorms information? What would be the best to pack for the room? Best time to fly in and leave before and after the program? There is a bit of flexibility there. Many thanks!
My S22 is going to BUTI for the same programs, too.I just booked the flight in today actually. Still need to book the return flight. It’s the first time at BUTI for him. The Student Lifebook had a suggested packing list if I’m not mistaken (what to bring) and info about the dorms as well. If flying or taking the train, BUTI provides shuttle pickup and drop off service.

Searched through the info here and am curious if anyone has experience with Atlantic Music Festival? Curious about what the day to day life is like, food, housing, and the like…
PM’ed you (again?)…
anyone have experience with the summer composition program in Milan?
Which one? What is the name of the festival? Composit?
It’s this one:
Milan in Motion, film scoring, writing for video games, and learning about the business…great award winning faculty…juried competition…find your own accommodations
Most festivals/programs I am familiar with are classical or avante-garde. I think the field of composition is headed toward this “new media” direction. Lots of music schools are starting programs in this area. I noticed some who wrote testimonials did traditional composition as undergrads or even MM’s.
Looks good!

Thanks! That’s what I thought, but it’s always nice to have it confirmed!
Is BUTI Young Artist Piano program prestigious? Did anyone participated this program before and how the experience was?

Is BUTI as selective as NYO in terms of rigor and acceptance rate? Thank you!
I would say no, but the orchestra program is very strong with many excellent musicians.

Thanks for the response! How about the Young Artist Piano program?
I am not 100% sure, but I think NYO Jazz has a couple of Piano spots, but NYO and NYO2 do not. NYO is more selective than BUTI’s Tanglewood.
Great to know! Thank you for the insight! Is BUTI considered as a prestigious or just (above) average summer music program?
Is anyone else attending Brevard this summer?
Yes, and having an excellent experience so far!
