VIVO Summer String Institute
Join us for VIVO, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's Summer String Institute!
2025 Dates: July 13-17
Atlanta Symphony Hall | Woodruff Arts Center | Atlanta, GA
July 13 | 2pm-5pm
July 14-17 | 9am-5:30pm
This five-day music camp welcomes violin, viola, cello, and bass players from rising 5th through rising 12th grade. At Vivo, students will learn from expert string conductors, receive coaching from professional musicians, be inspired by master artists, and explore engaging music electives.
VIVO is designed for student musicians of all levels! Camp begins with a placement audition to ensure each student is assigned to the best ensemble for their skill level. We ask that participants have at least one year of experience and bring their own instrument. From near-beginners to high school All-State players, all are welcome!
The camp concludes with a free showcase performance featuring all ensembles, open to family, friends, and the public. Join us at 4:00pm on the final day to celebrate the students' achievements.
All classes, rehearsals, and performances take place at Woodruff Arts Center, 1280 Peachtree Street NE, Midtown Atlanta.
We look forward to making music with you this summer!
