The mission of the Stretto Youth Chamber Orchestra is to provide high level immersion based musical training and character development to a diverse community of children and youth between ages 6-18, consciously providing access to low-income and historically underrepresented communities. Local and international performances and student-led fundraising deepen the experience of being part of a community of socio-economic inclusion, adding dimension to peer leadership and mentoring.
We are proud to support families like the Daniel-Young family who have been in the program for more than a decade.
Every summer, we hold a 2-week Day Camp followed by a 2-week Residential Camp.
Blue Mountain Festival's mission is to pursue excellence in music-making in a highly-structured, nurturing environment. At the core of Blue Mountain Festival's vision is the inclusion and integration of learners from diverse socio-economic, educational and cultural backgrounds.
The foundation of our teaching model centers on multi-level mentoring where our professional faculty not only provide high-level instruction but also foster a supportive musical environment that encourages each student to pursue individual excellence. In turn, our advanced students are expected to demonstrate the same encouraging attitude toward newer students, honing and teaching their musical craft as well as learning how to be team players and civic-minded mentors within the microcosm of the chamber music experience.
This is our main touring and performance ensemble.
