Campamento Musical de Verano 2024

About This Grant

This project will provide a summer youth music program at James Baldwin Elementary School from Monday, August 12-Friday, August 16, 9am-1pm, each day, without charge, to approximately 40 BIPOC and Latinx youth, ages 6-16 years. Experienced professional teaching artists will provide individual and ensemble instruction in Spanish and English. Participants will be assigned to beginning, intermediate, and advanced groups according to their musical knowledge and experience. In addition to individual and ensemble instruction in playing an orchestral instrument (violin, viola, cello, flute, and brass), program activities will include sharing multi-cultural experiences and education, including diverse songs and dances, led by BIPOC guest artists. Youth participants will present a final performance for family and friends at the end of the week.
