Flute Students Find Expert Faculty, Friends And Fun At Camp

The Mason Summer Flute Academy, June 17-21, 2019, is engineered to inspire students ages 13-18 to learn more, practice more, and enjoy flute playing more, culminating with a knock-out performance on stage in Mason’s Center for the Arts!

Directed by George Mason University Flute Professor Julianna Nickel, the program is part of Mason Summer Music Intensive Week. Located in Mason’s School of Music on the Mason Fairfax campus in Fairfax, VA (in the Washington, DC Metro area), the Summer Music Intensive Week brings aspiring teen musicians from across the region and the country together for instrument-specific clinics, group masterclasses and workshops, social activities, and a robust final student performance in the Center for the Arts concert hall.

 

 

“We will explore areas of flute playing and performance that increase a performer’s knowledge base and inspire one to keep growing as a musician,” explained Professor Nickel, “including Baroque music, extended techniques, and chamber music.”

This year’s guest artist is Leah Arsenault Barrick, Assistant Principal Flutist from the National Symphony Orchestra and one of the country’s top flutists. Her vibrant personality and love of the flute is sure to inspire the participants.

Foxes Music Company will also be on site with flutes, piccolos, sheet music, and accessories for everyone to peruse/ purchase.

“One of my absolute favorite parts of the week is watching the group enjoy hanging out together and cheering each other on,” said Ms. Nickel.

As part of Summer Music Intensive Week, the Mason Summer Flute Academy also offers a Residential option, including on-campus housing and meals plus special evening activities, for an additional fee.
