Oboe

For seven weeks, 400 elite students participate in a rigorous program of instruction and performance. They work with our artist faculty, sixty-five teachers and performers from the most prestigious orchestras, conservatories, and music schools. Brevard’s hallmark is orchestral training. Our three orchestras present eighteen different programs this summer. In all, students, faculty, and visiting artists present some 80 public concerts. In addition to daily rehearsals, students receive private lessons and may participate in recitals, chamber music, and masterclasses.
