Strings camp to be held at Milligan


MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (June 26, 2002) – Several local musicians and faculty members will offer their expertise to local youth at the fourth annual Milligan College Strings Camp the week of July 29-August 2. The week-long day camp is under the direction of Dr. Kellie Dubel Brown, assistant professor of the practice of music.

The Strings Camp is open to all strings players (violin, viola, cello, bass) from sixth grade through adult age and will feature a variety of musical activities including orchestra, chamber music, private lessons, fiddling, and jazz improvisation.

“Attending a string orchestra camp is an excellent way to strengthen playing skills and to enjoy being with others who have the same interests as you,” said Brown. “It is also a great head start for the fall.”

The camp will also features a distinguished faculty from throughout the United States. The faculty includes: Steven Leonard, director of the String Orchestra Program for the Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestras of Atlanta; Lisa Hollis, violinist and teacher in Flagstaff, Arizona; and
Tim Mutschlecner, sought-after clinician and cello teacher from Johnson City.

Scholarship assistance is available, as well as transportation from Kingsport. For more information, please contact the Music Office at 423-461-8723 or rmyers@milligan.edu.
