ASHEVILLE SYMPHONY EDUCATION PROGRAM

The Music Education in the Schools program is intended to supplement and support the work done by Buncombe County and Asheville City music teachers.  The Guild’s acclaimed “Music Education in the Schools” project brings live musical performances of brass, woodwinds, and strings to over 2000 Asheville and Buncombe County 3rd through 5th grade students. Musicians discuss and demonstrate their instruments and play a variety of musical selections. Students completing the three-year program will receive personal CD’s of the performances that they have heard.

The Music Education Committee offered full scholarships to middle and high school instrumental music students to attend Western North Carolina Summer Music Camp.  The Camp was held on the beautiful campus of the University of North Carolina Asheville, June 22-27, 2008. 
 
Information and application forms for the 2009 camp will be available via this website as they become available.

Camp scholarships are courtesy of the Barbara Chisholm Memorial Fund of the Asheville Symphony Guild.
