This year's summer organ academy explores the notion of the Pipe Organ as a gateway to historical culture and practice. Through the vast repertory and styles of organs in western culture, we open the doors to not only musical discovery but also the world and culture from which art is born.
This intensive, residential program offered to organists ages 13 - 25 (students under 15 years of age must be accompanied by a parent and live off-campus).
Sessions of daily lessons, master classes, sacred music skills, improvisation, harpsichord, clavichord, and preparation for college auditions and competitions are included in this week. Midweek the group tours organs and other sites in Cleveland, then off to Sandusky to Cedar Point Amusement Park!
