A summer music camp opportunity for musicians aged 12-18!
SAN BERNARDINO, CA— Through a partnership between the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra (SBSO) Association, California State University San Bernardino’s Summer Youth Music Camp is bringing middle-school and high-school students to the CSUSB campus for a week-long series of rehearsals, coachings, sectionals, and masterclasses. Participating student musicians will be taught by a faculty of professional musicians from both CSUSB and the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra.
This camp is open to woodwind, brass, percussion, keyboard, and string students who are 12-18 years old by Sunday, July 13, 2025, or who have just finished high school. Students must have at least two years of playing experience.
Camp will convene on the following dates:
- Sunday, July 13, 12:00 – 5:00 p.m.
- Monday, July 14, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Tuesday, July 15, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Wednesday, July 16, 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. (includes chamber concert)
- Thursday, July 17, 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. (includes orchestra concert)
The focus of this camp is symphonic orchestra and chamber music performance. All qualified registrants will be accepted, but to be considered for camp orchestra and chamber group placement, students are asked to submit a YouTube link of themselves playing one piece, or an excerpt of a piece (can be solo, chamber, or orchestral), that best represents their current playing level.
Registration includes tuition for the camp, lunch Sunday through Thursday, dinner on Sunday and Thursday, and a camp t-shirt. The fee for this five-day intensive is $200 + the Purple Pass processing fee. To register, please fill out the three forms and complete tuition processing, all on the summer camp website: https://www.csusb.edu/music/summer-programs
Registration paperwork, student YouTube, and payment all must be received by July 1, 2025.
