Bethany invites high school music directors to nominate students with talents in choral, band and instrumental music for one or more of these Saturday experiences.
During each one day event, an exceptional group of young musicians enjoy interactive workshops with accomplished directors, collaborate in learning a few exceptional works of music, and perform together in a rich musical concert environment.
The public is welcome to these free Saturday evening concerts to see the up-and-coming talent pool of musicians.
