The
Northern
Lights Music Festival is an intensive 19 day
classical music performance program that will take
participants before large and enthusiastic audiences in
four northern Minnesota cities this summer. At
Northern Lights you are the stars, performing
numerous times in chamber music, solo and ensemble
repertoire. Evening and matinee concerts are scheduled
on a daily basis, with extra performances in regional
libraries for children.
The newly renovated Mesabi East High School in Aurora,
will be 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 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.
Concerts featuring participants
are held in Aurora at Mesabi East School; at the University of Minnesota/Duluth, as part
of the Sieur Du Luth Summer Arts Festival Festival; at
the Lyric Theatre in Virginia, and the resort city of
Ely.
