Summer ChamberFest 2024 Recap
BYSO launched a summer chamber music program open to BYSO and non-BYSO students! The goal of BYSO Summer ChamberFest is to provide an intensive chamber music experience for intermediate and advanced string and piano students from ages 8-18. Classes took place at BYSO’s new Youth Center for Music in the heart of the Boston music scene. In addition to daily chamber music coachings, students had the opportunity to take part in a variety of music enrichment classes and electives including musicianship, theory, chorus, improvisation, drumming/rhythm, Yoga and Alexander Technique.
Musical Kaleidoscope - A Summer Festival For Musical Exploration 2024 Recap
Dalcroze Eurythmics, sometimes called “Music through movement,” nurtures musicality, creativity, imagination, and expressivity. Students learn to listen for rhythm, pitch, harmony, and more, using body movement, voice, and instruments to respond. Students will learn to improvise and create with their movements.
This summer music program explored these concepts of Dalcroze Eurhythmics while taking children on a voyage "Under the Ocean". Students dove into a repertoire of songs, rhythms, poems and art exploring the ocean.
At the end of the five-day program, students participated in a performance and art exhibition showcasing the week's fun work and activities with their peers.
