The Stately Oaks Music Festival is a multi-day camp designed for high school (grades 9 - 12) and middle school (grades 7 and 8) music students. Students will participate in large ensemble rehearsals, receive a group masterclass on their instrument, and have the exciting opportunity to engage with one of the LSU concert ensembles in an interactive rehearsal. Camp participants will also attend the LSU Collage Concert, which features students and faculty of the LSU Department of Bands and LSU School of Music and perform in a final concert of their own on Saturday afternoon, which will be free and open to the public.
