Open to intermediate, preconservatory, and early-conservatory-level pianists, violinists, violists, and cellists, ages nine to eighteen.
The Young Performers Program is designed for gifted young musicians seeking to develop their musicianship through intensive training with a faculty of experienced musicians. Students are grouped into ensembles with their colleagues according to level of playing and experience. A daily schedule of ensemble rehearsals, workshops, and coachings with the core teaching faculty plus visiting artists culminates in three public performances. Activities take place each day of the week except most Sundays.
Tuition: $2,900 (includes lunch on program days).
Financial aid and scholarships: Available and awarded on the basis of need and merit.
Housing is not provided and Music@Menlo assumes no responsibility for securing or recommending housing options for long-distance applicants. Limited financial assistance for housing is available to long-distance applicants who demonstrate financial need.
