As part of our Advancing Innovation through Music (AIM) program, The U.S. Air Force Band is excited to announce an event for collegiate wind and percussion musicians: The United States Air Force Band Collegiate Symposium. The Symposium offers a unique opportunity for talented college musicians to immerse themselves in one of the world's finest professional wind ensembles.
The Symposium will be held January 31 through February 2, 2019 and is open to wind, percussion and string bass players who are studying music in college and are citizens or legal permanent residents of the United States. Those selected to attend are sure to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime musical experience finishing with a performance at Schlesinger Concert Hall on Saturday, February 2 at 8 p.m. The Symposium is free--no tuition or fees. Lodging will be provided; selected attendees are responsible for their transportation and meal expenses.
This three-day workshop encompasses a variety of events to enhance musical growth and learning: clinics, masterclasses, rehearsals and round table discussions. The weekend culminates in a joint public and live-streamed performance with the U.S. Air Force Concert Band.
