Both camps conclude with a concert in our 1,044-seat Musco Center for the Arts.

Led by Southern California’s preeminent music faculty, these day-long instrumental and choral intensives offer high school musicians pre-professional training on the beautiful Chapman University campus, culminating in a performance in Musco Center for the Arts. Past festivals include the Choral Festival, Double Reed Day, Honor Band Festival, and Strings Festival.
Henry Kemp-Blair Shakespeare Festival
Hosted annually each spring by Chapman University's Department of Theatre. Students spend the weekend on scene, monologue and design presentations and participating in workshops. This event is a wonderful opportunity for students to experience and learn more about performing Shakespeare.
