This level, for students with 4+ year's experience, is the most advanced level. The focus of this group changes every year to fit the participants. In the past, we have studied classical, jazz,
fiddle and movie scores, as well as student compositions.
We have attended concerts in Boston, done exchanges with other ensembles, performed at the Amazing Things theater in Framingham and hosted guest artists for masterclasses.

The daily sessions are broken up with some outdoor activities and a delicious homemade dinner!
