Imagine. Sitting on stage next to the BSO's concertmaster, following cues from Maestra Marin Alsop, performing orchestral repertoire with members of the renowned Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. It's the summer camp you've been waiting for. The newly launched BSO Academy is an annual intensive week-long study program with daily sessions of performance and educational activities held at the BSO's home in Baltimore, the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall.
The BSO Academy offers adult amateur musicians a once-in-a-lifetime, immersive musical training, and close collaboration with a world-class orchestra and with peers who share your passion for symphonic music.There is no program in the country quite like it. Make this a summer you'll never forget. Spend it side-by-side with the pros of the BSO.
