Serve your community through music
You’re a leader in your school or community music program. Perhaps you have a leadership role in your band, orchestra, or choir. Maybe you’re a member of a music honor society, or active in a community program. Music is a part of your life, and you’re ready to use your medium to make an impact. Being an artist-citizen is your opportunity to have a positive influence on your classmates, neighbors, and community.
Are you ready?
What it is.
A one-day retreat of interactive workshops to develop the skills necessary for musicians to engage in the community. Each session will focus on a different topic necessary for interactive public performances, including program development, project management, and leadership.
Who it’s for.
You’re a leader in your high school or community music program, and ready to share your craft with your community. You are interested in taking the next steps in collaboration with other musicians to reach new audiences, interact, perform, and inspire.
What you gain.
The tools, resources, and perspective to create and hold engaging public performances in your community. You will work alongside a small cohort of like-minded peers, learning from world-class musicians and educators from the Eastman School of Music. During the retreat, participants will design a plan for a captivating public performance, and gain the tools and skills to fulfill during the academic year,
