About Orpheus Academy

Welcome to Orpheus Academy, a scholarship-based

summer immersion program for young musicians

ages 15-25. The academy is a unique place in the

Pacific Northwest - a place where internationally

acclaimed artists/teachers work side by side with

young musicians offering them training and guidance

in a rich and growth-inducing environment.

The goals of the academy are:

• Artistic self-discovery and discipline

• Development of artistic identity, personality

and artistic insight

• Development of individual artistic skills as a

soloist and ensemble musician

• Kindling personal artistic vision, commitment,

enthusiasm and zeal for the art

of music

• Learning and developing appreciation of

new literature

• Intelligent pursuit of excellence in music

performance

• Overall, developing a healthy self-identity

as an artist vis-a-vis fellow musicians and

the community at large

Academy Offerings
