Ten students will be selected to participate in an intensive six-week program consisting of 18 sessions, held Tuesday–Thursdays from 4–6 pm. Participants will be required to attend every session. The program will culminate in a special performance on May 30, 2012 at Kelly Strayhorn Theater, 5941 Penn Avenue in East Liberty. The program is designed for students interested in a broad range of musical styles, with an interest in developing their skills. Training sessions will take place at Union Project, located at801 North Negley Avenue in Highland Park. World-renowned teachers will guide students as they advance their technique, gain experience in performing with an ensemble, and practice performing for an audience. This one-of-a-kind project provides young musicians a platform to expand their interests in music and a chance to make invaluable connections in the music scene in Pittsburgh and beyond.
