Summer String Fling Orchestra Camps

All music educators will agree on the importance of students playing their instrument over the summer.

We are in our 12th year of String Fling Orchestra Camps at The Center and have a long history of providing excellent instruction throughout the Greater Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky region.

We are introducing new music themes in addition to our traditional classical genre for each week of camp.

Choose from "Classical Favorites" or "Cartoon Tunes" for Elementary String Camps (3rd-6th grades), "Orchestra Boot Camp" for Junior High String Fling (7th-9th grades) and "Broadway Hits" for Junior High/High School (8th-12th grades). Each camp includes a daily schedule of activities involving: orchestra, sectionals, eurythmics, improvisation and skill building. Instructors are faculty of the Cincinnati String Academy and guest faculty from area schools.

And don't forget to attend the "Finale Performance" on Friday at the end of camp. You will be amazed to hear what the students have accomplished in just one short week!

Chamber Music Jr./Sr. High School

A great introduction into an exhilarating music style. Students will be placed in small groups to make trios, quartets and quintets and perform beautiful music at the concert on Friday. Combine this camp with Jr./Sr. High String Fling for a full day of music!
