14Testimonials
What did you love most about the festival?
“The intensity, the location, the people, and everything
that went along with those. It was an incredible
experience to be pressured to prepare such difficult music
to such a high standard in such a short amount of time. I
have grown tremendously as a musician because of the
demands placed on me. The size of this festival is perfect;
having a small number of people raises the performance
level because of higher competition for admission. It also
allows everyone to get more experience performing,
leading, and listening than would be possible at a larger
festival, not to mention a closer interaction with the
faculty. Scott also caters the festival towards training its
musicians to win jobs - I greatly appreciate this.”
“Literally everything... I honestly feel like there were no
flaws at all with the program. Most of all, I loved working
with Scott. Love his intensity and passion. I feel like I
played my absolute best under him.”
“I loved how everyone pushed each other to a very high
standard but still kept the festival extremely fun. All the
performances were at a very high level and at the same
time there was this incredible lightheartedness between
all the musicians.”
“The faculty! They are amazing! Getting to play with them
was an incredible experience! And the Fellows! Everyone is
at such a high playing level. It's a joy to play with such
wonderful musicians.”
“Close contact with faculty, Scott Yoo, and the fantastic
quality of the faculty concerts. Collaborating and learning
at the same time - it's like if you're going to be a
professional someday, why not start now?“
