COVID Update

Hello MusiCampers! 

At this time, we are unable to offer registration for MusiCamp 2021. We are waiting for guidance and regulations regarding overnight summer camps from the Alberta government, and we expect to have some news for you in early April. We understand how important MusiCamp Alberta is to young musicians and musical theatre students, and we are doing everything we can to advocate for the program. We will keep you posted of all new developments, but rest assured that if we get the green light, we will be ready to open registrations and we are working to make MusiCamp Alberta 2021 one the best ever!

If you have any questions of concerns, please contact me at musicampdirector@gmail.com

Sincerely,

Joel Gray

MusiCamp Alberta is THE provincial overnight summer music workshop! MusiCamp Alberta offers an immersive musical experience second to none, and an artistic and personal transformation that will last a lifetime. Faculty are world-class performers and teachers from professional ensembles who work with camp staff to cultivate artistry, discipline and an appreciation of music. Practice time, faculty recitals, master classes, chamber music, rehearsals, performances and organized recreation activities complete the camp experience. Listen to 2019’s MusiCamp concerts!

We will be following all the provincial COVID restrictions. For all camps, students will be placed in a cohort of up to 18 campers, so we will not have any large ensembles or performing groups, but this will ensure a safe environment for everyone at camp. An upside of this is that students will get to do more creative work, and will have a more flexible program and schedule that will give them opportunity to learn skills that perform repertoire specifically arranged for their cohort and tailored to their skill level.

• David J. Peterkin Creative Workshop: Ages 15 – 18 with at least three years of instrument experience.

• Francis E. Dunnigan Creative Workshop Band: Ages 12 – 15 with at least one year of instrument experience.

• Jazz Band Workshop: Ages 13 – 18 with at least two years instrument experience.

• NEW! Jazz Band Intensive: Ages 15 – 18 with at least three years instrument experience.

• Musical Theatre Performance: Ages 13 – 18 for any level of experience and who want to learn vocal technique, performance skills and choreography.

• Musical Theatre Intensive + Performance: Ages 15 – 18 with at least two years of experience, who are interested in skill-building and personalized coaching in acting, voice and dance.

Note: Students are supervised both day and night.
