Participation: A variety of students attend the Orfeo Music Festival. The majority are university and high school students, but there are also younger as well as talented adult amateurs/others. There is a wonderful atmosphere of camaraderie at the Festival. Whether serious conservatory student or adult amateur, students enjoy learning from faculty, from nature, and from each other. Most Festival participants are American, but there is a definite international flavor with students from Germany, England, Australia, Korea, and other countries. (from Stephen Caplan’s informative Orfeo page: see HERE.)
Application: Click HERE. The deadline for application form and fee is February 10 (supporting materials can be sent within a week). (After February 10: inquire HERE.) I am happy to help you with applying, just contact me: clarinetmiketexas@yahoo.com.
