Celebrating our 45th Summer!
New York State Summer School of the Arts (NYSSSA)
The School of Orchestral Studies is the final school hosted by Skidmore College. 95 students selected from statewide auditions reside and study at Skidmore College under the Artistic Direction of Principal Conductor Luis Biava, former Principal 2nd Violin and Associate Conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Students study with members of the Philadelphia Orchestra during their summer residency at SPAC while studying a repertoire which parallels that of the Orchestra. Small coaching sessions with the Philadelphia artists provide students with the opportunity to learn technique and rehearsal skills through the shared repertory.
This event is free and open to the public.
