The festival hours are from 9am–6:30pm, Monday through Saturday, the exception being when there is a student and faculty concert in the evening. During regular schedule days, students will be performing in master classes, collaborating in chamber groups, receiving private lessons, and practicing on their own inside individual practice rooms. 


The goal of Summer Music at Stevenson School is to help prepare young musicians for a professional career. We believe that setting up an environment where students perform is often a great way to develop a student’s potential as well as confidence. Therefore, we offer the following classes:

  • Private instruction
  • Masterclass performances for every student
  • Chamber music coaching
  • Lectures (i.e. How to overcome performance anxiety)
  • Student concerts


Yes, all student concerts will be video-recorded. Parents are welcome to attend official master classes and concerts, however lessons, rehearsals and coaching are only for students and faculty. All concerts and student performances will be recorded. Students may record their own lessons and masterclasses using their personal devices.
