Festival faculty and guests work with 40 pre-professional young artists to curate performances and interact with communities at venues across the Fox Valley. Participants have daily rehearsals and the opportunity for private lessons, master classes, and workshops. They also create original song arrangements in collaboration with singer-songwriters from the Mile of Music festival. All events are free and open to the public, and most are professionally recorded.
Lawrence University highly recommends that all attendees are up-to-date with covid vaccines, but we do not require proof of vaccination for attendees.
