Whiz kids from the USA and UK and their exraordinary faculty present four very diverse concerts of Orchestra and Chamber Music in three historic San Francisco landmarks, and at SFSU School of Music and Dance.

After our first year in San Francisco, the Festival continued last year in Oxford, UK with performances in Christ Church Cathedral and Wesley Memorial Church, and is now returning to San Francisco this summer. Experience this extraordinary collaboration of talent guided by an eminent musical faculty who will perform string and piano masterpieces.

This experience is designed for exceptional young musicians who are ready to collaborate in creating an international community of inspired artistic excellence. With music as a transforming force, students will experience the additional vibrant, stimulating, dynamic resulting from diverse perspectives, cooperation and mentorship in music. In this musically rich environment, many will make life-long friends and all will be left with the memories of a powerful new experience.
