Credo is a summer program of intensive chamber music study designed to nurture the serious music student artistically and spiritually.



What makes Credo totally unique among professional level programs is Credo's celebration of musical excellence as a gift of the Spirit. Credo successfully brings together students from a wide variety of faith backgrounds in pursuit of understanding and implementation of the principles of compassion, selflessness, discipline and universal love. Led from a non denominational Christian perspective, the daily Morning Sing group devotional sets a positive context for coachings, rehearsals, lessons, recreation and informal discussion. Students also set aside one day per week for service to others in nursing homes and various service organizations in order to cultivate an attitude of giving back to others. Credo's conscious redefinition of "success" produces amazing results in its students: significant musical growth and a new understanding of the joys and responsibilities of artistic excellence. The often life-changing experience of Credo helps its students be more engaging members of their communities, families and musical ensembles.
