Summer Music Camps
The Rowan University Music Faculty is pleased to host the ninth annual sequence of specialized summer music camps in July 2020. Young musicians will have the opportunity to participate in comprehensive Band, Choral, Jazz, String, Composition and Music Industry camps.
Each camp will engage students in full ensemble experiences, chamber music, and master classes, coupled with evening concerts by students and faculty. Students will participate in a variety of social events and experience the excitement of ‘university living’ in air-conditioned accommodations on the beautiful Rowan campus. A complete camp handbook with more information and details is coming soon!
We hope you will join us in July 2020 for an enjoyable musical week!

Students will bring their primary instrument and will be composing and performing for each other. The Camp concludes on Thursday with students performing their pieces in a '90 Second Speed Concert' which is always a lot of fun for students, parents and audience!
