EDUCATING THE NEXT GENERATION OF MUSICIANS

Join world-class faculty and musicians from around the world in an intensive summer festival that will change your life! MSO’s celebrated week-long string camp for elementary through college-age serves many students from the metro, state and region (including beyond Mississippi and from South America). Faculty from all over the country teach campers in several age-appropriate ensembles, and through masterclasses and recitals. A scholarship group is also formed from our most talented young Jackson Public Schools students. The experience is typically held on the campus of  Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi.

POI YOUNG HAYNDS

The Young Haynds String Ensemble is the perfect place for students with one or more years of experience with their instrument. This is a multilevel ensemble that meets each student at their current level and challenges them to make beautiful music together.

MASTER CAMERATA

The Master Camerata is designed for players seeking to bring their level closer to the college or professional level. Also, this ensemble is designed to offer performance opportunities to college students and professional musicians.
