Labor Day Festival

An exceptional opportunity for outstanding high school string musicians to study with an elite group of concert artists in a strings immersion workshop.

August 30-September 2, 2024

The Labor Day Festival is an intensive, hands-on, three-day workshop with Center faculty, limited to just 8 rising high school seniors: 4 violinists, 2 violists, and 2 cellists.

Participants will take part in master classes, coachings and rehearsals as they prepare for the festival’s closing concert, when they will perform string quartets as well as play with the Center String Ensemble.

The workshop program is FREE for accepted participants to attend, who only need to pay for their travel to and from Mercer University. All other expenses during the workshop are covered.
