This year marks the OPO Summer Camp’s 5th anniversary, and this year is going to be bigger and better than ever.
The OPO Summer Camp is an 8-day program for students who want to grow musically while learning from some of Orlando’s top professional musicians and guest artists. This is a great opportunity for High School level students to develop skills like small and large ensemble playing, music history, solo performance, and more! The camp will conclude in a performance at The Plaza Live to showcase everything they learned.
New this year – We are accepting Woodwind, Brass, and Percussion campers!
