St. Olaf Summer Music Academy

The St. Olaf Summer Music Academy is ideal for high school students who aim to pursue a music major as well as students who enjoy making music at a high level and may pursue other areas of academia. Join other highly-skilled high school musicians from across the nation for an exciting week of music-making featuring three of our internationally-acclaimed ensemble directors.

In addition, St. Olaf Music Academy will be led by many members of the talented St. Olaf music faculty. Specialized lessons will be offered in voice, piano, and all orchestral and band instruments. Students will attend classes, one-on-one lessons, rehearsals, master classes, and participate in large ensemble (band, orchestra, choir) and small ensemble (quartets, quintets) experiences. Student and faculty recitals will take place each evening followed by campus social activities led by current St. Olaf students. The week will culminate with a final concert in Boe Chapel. Families of campers are encouraged to attend!
