For seventy years, UNH’s Summer Youth Music School (SYMS) has provided an opportunity for students to share their passion for music with other talented musicians in a supportive and engaging environment, studying with outstanding teachers and freelance artists from around the country.
During the camp, students engage in a daily schedule of exciting and varied classes. Campers concentrate on a major instrument or voice part and choose electives to broaden their experience. They participate in large ensembles (band, choir, orchestra), master classes, chamber groups, jazz ensembles, and other stimulating and challenging courses designed to improve their technique and musical understanding.
Students and faculty also perform a variety of free evening recitals throughout the sessions and each session concludes with a final concert.
