CAMP DESCRIPTION
The Arts+ String Orchestra Camp is back again for 2023! Young musicians from across the Charlotte area come together to learn, perform, and grow as musicians together. The camp is filled with games, new music, four different orchestras, chamber music experiences, and a NEW Orchestra 101 track for rising 5th-8th-grade students. Our string campers are sure to make memories that last a lifetime. Our players will learn from and perform alongside top educators from the Charlotte Symphony and Charlotte-area schools. Camp will finish with a concert on Friday afternoon that is free and open to the public.
Camp musicians grow in confidence in their instruments, hone their technique, and discover just what they're capable of as an orchestra player. Come join us to make some amazing music together!
