"...the whole experience was amazing. Really transformative. Count me in as a regular from here on out! Just want to say thank you again! I loved every minute of it".
The Summertrios faculty is what makes our Workshops special: world-class musicians who are gifted coaches.
"...[our coach] was amazing, and managed to give both of us attention and information, not only with respect to our different instruments but also keying in on the things that we most needed help with (which were very different)."
