The
Northern Lights Music Festival is an
intensive 20 day classical music performance program that will take
participants before large and enthusiastic audiences in seven northern
Minnesota cities this summer. At Northern
Lights you are the stars, performing numerous times in
chamber music, solo and ensemble repertoire. More than 18
performances of solo and chamber music repertoire are scheduled in
Aurora, Virginia, Gilbert, Hoyt Lakes, Duluth, Minneapolis and the
resort city of Ely.
The newly renovated Mesabi East High School in Aurora, is our home.
The school, with its historic auditorium, opens its doors for
rehearsal, teaching and practice. Steinway and Boston grand and
upright pianos are available for practice without limit. An
internationally renowned faculty joins you to teach and coach,
culminating in master class and live performances for the
Northern Lights Music Festival
audiences.
Participants are placed with those of similar age and ability to
form piano trios, quartets and quintets. Repertoire assignments will
be made in advance to enable the ensembles to make best use of their
rehearsal time. Students receive two private lessons a week, and
multiple chamber music coachings in addition to daily theory and
sight singing classes for pre-college students. Experienced and
exceptional staff accompanists are provided, all winners of the MTNA
National Steinway competition.
