Through a partnership with the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra (SBSO), this camp brings middle-school and high-school students to the CSU San Bernardino campus to participate in a week-long series of classes, workshops, rehearsals, coachings, sectionals, and masterclasses. Students will work with a faculty of professional musicians from both CSUSB and the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra.
Middle school students are able to participate in a combined orchestra and band track. The middle school combined orchestra and band track is open to woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings.
High school students are able to select from one of two tracks: 1) string orchestra, and 2) wind band. Please note that the high school string orchestra and wind band will combine into a joint ensemble for certain performances. Students may only select one track.
