Festival Activities

 

Orchestra Rehearsal

Around 10 hours during the week is spent in orchestra rehearsal both with and without the guest artists. Students participate in rehearsal as we take apart and put back together some of the most imaginative, accessible, and amazing music ever written for orchestra!

Sectionals

Students get instrument-specific feedback from professional symphony musicians in sectional rehearsals held throughout the week.  This is where the rubber really meets the road and students are given the chance to work closely with some amazing career musicians.

Guest Presentations

We are introducing something new this year – we are bringing in world-class musicians & performers, social media influencers, teachers, university academics, and health professionals to speak to our students about the various aspects of music. The students will get a chance to learn about using technology in music, playing alternative styles of music, good physical and mental health practices, career paths in the music industry, how to collaborate effectively with other performers, and much more! We want to show how many different facets there are to being a musician, and most of these topics are things that aren’t widely discussed in an educational setting.

Recreation

At Lyceum Music Festival we understand that friends are what make music fun! Between the hard work of orchestra and sectional rehearsals students will have the opportunity to play field games, learn the ukulele, create art, and play chamber music with their friends. We will go for a hike up Mount Timpanogos and enjoy a fascinating guided tour of Timpanogos Cave, have a BBQ and play some water games, and get figuratively lost in a fantasy world not far from here.
