The String Intensive Study Program (SISP) is designed for passionate and motivated students desiring to refine technique, learn new repertoire, and prepare for auditions and performances. Combining one-on-one teaching with four hours of required daily practice time, this program encourages students to effectively integrate faith and art. SISP is open to qualified students ages 14 to 26, with consideration on a case-by-case basis outside these parameters. SISP faculty members oversee practice time, teach private lessons, and coordinate SISP classes. Students participate in performance classes, MasterClasses, chamber music opportunities, and weekly private lessons as well as experience daily prayer, devotionals and other festival-wide spiritual activities to strengthen students’ faith. Please refer to the Spiritual Life section for more information.
