Music

This camp is for string, brass, woodwind and percussion musicians to play symphony orchestra music. The music will be similar to that played at previous LYCO Winter Workshops. See our Recorded Music page for examples. Willem and Margaret will choose the music in early June. Any music that is in the public domain will be made available to applicants for practice before the camp.
