My S just phoned me from Arezzo, Italy where he is currently doing the Oberlin in Italy program. He is in love with Italy!! They got there last night, and already started rehearsing. What a life these young people have:) He attended Brevard last summer and really enjoyed it alot. He is always happiest when he's singing. He is a vocal performance major at Oberlin Con. Will be a senior this Sept.

neumes · June 9, 2008, 8:12am

Not sure how to put this in, as son is not doing it this year (but a friend is--how about Neumes's S's friend?!), but ages 16 to 22 who love choral singing (particularly English choral singing) should look into the Eton Choral Courses at Eton College, 15 min. north of Heathrow. Courses are 8 days long, sing all day either in class, ensembles or all together. About 80 kids per course, fantastic visiting musicians, interesting venues, such as St Paul's Cathedral and Oxbridge colleges. The top students are asked to join The Rodolfus Choir (which is what S is in this summer for a short tour in August--not a music festival per se, though, so I'm not listing him for that), which meets several times a year for concerts and recording. Check out Eton Choral Courses online.

I know a girl who also did this and loved it. She sings at a very high level in a semiprofessional choir and got a lot out of it.

violadad · June 9, 2008, 8:25pm

neumes, a similar case came up on this year's acceptances thread, "a friend is going to UTasmania Conservatorium in Hobart, Australia" or something similar.

BassDad beat me to it and suggested we post only the admits/final decisions, summer programs of active forum posters.

I agree, but I'll admit I've added a few lurkers (who have PM'd or emailed me asking I add a name to the the list).

Should neumes S's friend decide to join us, I'd be more than happy to add it.

Great news, bassdad! Always exciting when someone gets to list teacher instead of student! I believe violadad's S is also teaching somewhere?

Great news Bassdad!!! Agree with Binx!

DS is not participating in a competitive auditioned festival this year...but he is going to the Roanoke Island Festival Park in Manteo NC for the coming week to play with the North Carolina School of the Arts Jazz Ensemble. They will be doing four concerts during the week including the one for the Fourth of July. The school provides lodging and a stipend for food and mileage. It will be a nice working vacation for the week.

Nice to hear about alternatives to festivals as well, Thumper.

Kudos to your D BassDad. Sometimes good stuff falls into your lap. You never know, it might be a recurring thing for her.

Yep binx, my son is on faculty at an adult chamber program in PA. After his first undergrad year, a combination of procrastination and selections as "alternate" at a couple of programs left him with nothing for the summer other than 2 weeks of intense chamber locally. He was thumbing through Strings Mag, saw the program ad, and said, I'll go play for fun for two weeks.

He talked them into half tuition as an intern. He was there one day, they hired him as faculty on the spot, and gave him back his check, plus paid him room and board for his two weeks there.

This is his fifth year back as faculty. The program is geared to intermediate and advanced serious chamber music players. He did an additional week early in June as faculty in a seperate week long program, where the participants get to do a chamber piece with performing pros.

He doesn't need a vacation. He calls this his three week fully paid vacation. It costs him gas, or train fare; room and board is provided for faculty.

Serendipity. A whim turned into a summer stint as long as he wants to do it. At times, the gods smile on you.

should have read "...paid him and provided room and board for his two weeks there."

Hmmm, guess I should post this but I just got a full scholarship, tuition and flight, to the Pitten International Music Festival in Austria. pittenfestival.org. It randomly fell into my lap actually. I wanted to have a lesson with a voice faculty member from UVM that I had heard good things about so I did and after complimenting my voice, he asked me if I was doing anything this summer, to which I replied no since I was working to save for college. Anyway, he emailed me a day later saying he runs this festival and that he had a last minute cancellation and that if I was interested, he'd be glad to have me, offering me a full scholarship, airfare included. I get to participate in the chorus, masterclasses, and student recitals for about two and a half weeks, July 22-Aug. 11th. Anyway, just wanted to share this bit of good news, especially since my opportunity to participate in an opera chorus fell through.

Looks like a fabulous opportunity, baritonevoice. Beautiful place, too. Let us know how it goes!

rudysmom · June 30, 2008, 7:24am

...when you get to the airport. My son & his cello just left for O'Hare to fly out to ARIA. Delta charged him $150 one way to check his cello in his behemoth flight cover. It was a few inches over the linear allowance. So total, his cello will cost $300 round trip to fly in the belly of the plane. A ticket would have cost $350. But of course, there were no more seats available. These new checked luggage fares just started recently so there was no way to have been ahead of the game back when I purchased the seat for my son.

Oh well, live and learn.
