LUZERNE MUSIC CENTER MEANS
PERFORMANCE!
Luzerne Music Center offers an international
summer
music camp program for student instrumentalists, composers and conductors ages 10 through 18.
Students also attend weekly concerts presented
on campus by faculty members at the Friday Night
Faculty Series and by faculty members and
visiting artists at the Monday Night Luzerne
Chamber Music Festival.
Luzerne Music Center maintains special relationships with
the Philadelphia Orchestra
and
New
York City Ballet. Junior Session students
travel to performances of the New York City
Ballet, while Senior Session students attend
weekly performances of the Philadelphia
Orchestra -- all held at the Saratoga Performing
Arts Center in nearby Saratoga Springs.
Philadelphia Orchestra members and
visiting performing artists and composers present Master
Classes for all instruments on campus
throughout the summer.
Located
on Lake Luzerne in New York's Adirondack
Mountains
Luzerne Music Center is
located in an ideal setting
for a very memorable summer, overlooking a beautiful
pristine lake and surrounded by picturesque mountains.
On a 20-acre wooded campus, with its
own private beach, Luzerne Music Center
provides a perfect environment for students to practice and
perform their music, both indoors and outdoors, and participate
in a number of outdoor recreational activities.
FACILITIES AND CAMPUS LIFE
HOUSING: Luzerne is a Camp where students live in wooden cabins equipped with
bunks, electricity, and limited storage space, calling for
the use of foot lockers, which may be tucked neatly under the
bunks. Students are housed four to six per cabin, with one
counselor for every six students.
Counselor's cabins are
interspersed between campers' cabins, assuring that
supervision is maintained at all times. Indoor plumbing and
modern shower and bathing facilities are adjacent
to the cabins.
