Summer Intensive Program: Strings reBoot
August 24-28, 2026
This unique and exciting end of summer program is designed for string students who wish to get a jump start on the new term starting in September. This program will also appeal to those who may have taken a break or spent the summer playing in orchestral or chamber music festivals, and now wish to work on solo repertoire, orchestral excerpts, and technique. By the end of the week, students at the Conservatory Strings reBoot camp will be energized and in great shape for the new term.
reBoot Camp features:
- Technique classes
- Excerpt classes
- One on one lessons on repertoire
- A mock audition for the Greater Victoria Youth Orchestra or your university orchestra
- Masterclasses
- An informal concert at the end of the week
Participants will be assigned their own practice rooms.
