Summer Programs

Senior Session
Presenting glorious opportunities for high-level music making, personal growth, and life-long friendships, Kinhaven's Senior Session is comprised of 90 young musicians engaged in chamber music, orchestra, and spontaneous music-making. The experience is one of community, shared learning, and mutual support in which friendship and encouragement are always present.

High-school age young adults are challenged by a variety of chamber and orchestra repertoire. Co-Directors Tony Mazzocchi and Deborah Buck lead a faculty of professional musicians who specialize in working with talented and dedicated young people. Learn More.

Junior Session
Each year 70 middle-school age musicians take part in Junior Session. Students are selected based on audition, but once admitted the competition ends. Co-directed by Sandy Dennis and Marty Knieriem, our dedicated faculty of professional musicians works to match students with chamber groups and orchestral repertoire that challenge and delight them.
