During the first two weeks in August, a number of Conservatory Lab students joined approximately 80 students, ranging in ages from 8 to 16, coming from greater Massachusetts and as far away as Florida, Mexico, and Venezuela for the 2015 El Sistema Summer Academy.
They had the opportunity to work with teachers from around the world and gained valuable experiences both in orchestral playing and music theater. Our very own Resident Artist, Chris Schroeder led that winds and percussion sectional and had the opportunity to compose an original fanfare for the final concert.
