Summer Strings

July 18-29, 2022

Summer Strings offers participants the opportunity to perform in large ensembles and chamber music groups and to learn fiddle tunes. Whether participants are looking for a summer program that enhances their musicianship or performance ability or whether simply looking to make new friends with fellow musicians, Summer Strings has offered both to our community for over 50 years.

For two weeks in July,  Summer Strings 2022 string players from beginners to advanced players will meet  Monday-Friday from 9am-1:30pm  at the Danbury Music Centre.

There will be a concert of the program participants on the final Friday at 7:30 pm.
