The student-musicians will be participating in a “Virtual Weekend” experience from March 4 to 6 that will include keynote speakers, master classes with professional musicians, rehearsals with their conductors, as well as opportunities to learn and network with colleges and universities of various types and participate in mock auditions.
Each student will individually record their performance from home led by a virtual performance of their conductor.
