Summer Music Institute
The Summer Music Institute (SMI) at the University of Texas at San Antonio is a week-long intensive program for talented young musicians ages 13-18 to receive chamber music coaching, master classes, and classroom instruction from distinguished UTSA music faculty and guests. This unique program offers students the opportunity for chamber music performance from the intermediate to advanced levels. Repertoire is carefully chosen with each student’s ability level in mind and will be mailed to participating students prior to the camp. SMI students will also be featured in a chamber music recital at the end of the week. Students accepted into the Summer Music Institute will have the opportunity to experience life as a music major at UTSA as they work with our faculty one-on-one, in chamber group settings, and in the classroom. To gain the full college experience, we also encourage SMI students to stay overnight in the UTSA residence halls.
