Winds, Brass, and Percussion Summer Intensive

August 10-14, 2026

Levels:

Foundations Program: Middle and High School students. At least one year of experience on their instrument.
Emerging Artists: Students 14–20 playing at an advanced level.

Registration is now open for our Winds, Brass, and Percussion Young Artist Summer Program! Whether you are looking to refresh and upgrade your skills before heading back to band, challenge yourself with new repertoire and performance opportunities, or deepen your artistry and refine your playing, we have a program for you!

We have introduced two programs to meet the musical needs and aspirations of a wide range of students.

For more information on either program or for help choosing between the two programs, please contact the Artistic Director, Emily Nagelbach at windsbrass.classical[at]vcm.bc.ca.

Foundations Program

Middle and high school students will develop their musical skills through small and large ensembles, music workshops, sectionals, and private lessons with our specialized faculty. This program will help improve tone and technique, and inspire students to take their instrumental playing to the next level.

Emerging Artists

Students who are already playing at a high level will refine their musical skills through a variety of chamber ensembles, music workshops, advanced sectionals, and private lessons with our faculty who are active professionals in their field.
