It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2013 summer edition of Lake Field Music camp. I’m thrilled to share with you an exciting program that includes the return of popular courses and many of our beloved faculty members from years past, as well as some new additions that I am sure you will enjoy.

If you are a past participant returning for another summer in beautiful Lakefield, welcome back! I look forward to greeting you in person this August as we spend another wonderful week making music together. To those who are new to Lake Field Music camp, I look forward to meeting you and sharing a life-changing week of making music, learning and being inspired by our amazing faculty.

See you in August!
