The Annapolis Symphony Academy will host a virtual open house for all interested students, parents and guardians on Wednesday, June 16, at 7pm.

“September will be a landmark time for the Annapolis Symphony Academy,” said Netanel Draiblate, Annapolis Symphony Academy Executive Director. “We are returning to in-person learning and we are expanding our programs to create a preschool to high school course of study. We look forward to sharing information about these great developments and answering all questions from current and prospective students.”

Applications are being accepted now for all Academy classes and performance groups. Online forms are available at TunedToYouth.org. Starting in September 2021, children as young as 4 can participate in the Academy’s new Discovery Early Childhood Music classes. From there, students can progress into one-on-one music lessons with Annapolis Symphony Orchestra members, and skill-appropriate ensemble and chamber groups, culminating in the opportunity to join the Orion Youth Orchestra, a tuition free, high-level performance group.

The Annapolis Symphony Academy’s virtual open house on Wednesday, June 16 at 7pm, will be held via Zoom. Participants can enter the event from the link on the landing page at the Academy’s website TunedToYouth.org

The Annapolis Symphony Academy, founded in 2018 as an educational project of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra, provides high-level music instruction to students of all cultural and economic backgrounds, while addressing the under-representation of musicians of color in the classical music field. The generosity of donors allows the Academy to award need-based and merit-based scholarships as well as financial assistance to qualifying students. All student members of Orion will receive a full orchestral scholarship.
