The Music for All Summer Symposium, “America’s Camp” is the largest residential summer music camp in the nation. More than 1,500 students and 300+ teachers from more than 30 states will be in attendance throughout the week (June 25 – June 30).
Music for All is a “member” of the Muncie community. Building community connections and growing and strengthening our outreach and service leadership relationship and roles within the Muncie community and its residents, are strategic commitment and priority.
As part of this commitment, this summer we are providing tickets for camp events that are open to Muncie community members to help improve our relationship and increase collaboration between Music for All, Ball State University, and the Muncie community. Our goals are to drive engagement, build community connectivity, and to serve as a resource and “value added” for organizations and programs, as well as those who served them, that provide value and contribute to the quality of life in Muncie and Delaware County.
The Summer Symposium Nightly Concert Series is one of the programs that distinguish the camp from others! Each evening features world-class artists and ensembles presenting a variety of musical performance genres and providing immersive performance experiences for camper students.
