Open to eligible students aged 14 to 21, the Music Revolution Project leverages the power of music to motivate and amplify young voices. The free program takes place at the Marcia P. Hoffman School of the Arts and consists of four weeks of intensive musical training and mentoring with respected composers, musicians, and directors. At the end of each four-week session, students perform on the Ruth Eckerd Hall stage for family and friends.
Offered at no cost to qualifying students, the highly selective program prepares students to perform at a high level, as well as to create connections within the music industry. Musical mentors in the program include numerous Grammy-winning artists, including Colbie Caillat and Three Doors Down.
