New Theme for 2010!
Backstage Pass: The Making of Music

Eastern Music Festival and The Music Academy of North Carolina are joining together to produce a new day camp for students ages 9-10! With backstage access to professional musicians and exclusive performances, participants will explore a variety of current music genres, including movie and video game music, jazz and blues, Americana, and classical music.  Each student will tap their own creative potential by composing their own music and visiting MARS, the Music Academy Recording Studio, to create an individual recording and discover the recording industry. EMFexplorers will also experience a dress rehearsal of a classical orchestra and be up-close and personal in a Q & A session with a professional conductor.

Who
All students ages 9 and 10 interested in exploring music should register! EMF encourages young people of all levels of musical experience to participate.

When
July 19 – 23

The first four days of EMFexplorers are located at The Music Academy of North Carolina. The final day is located at the Guilford College campus, the home of the Eastern Music Festival for 49 summers.
