Overview:
Idyllically located, the Hawai'i Performing Arts Festival Instrumental String Program is designed for violinists, violists, cellists and bassists who wish to find a nurturing musical environment conducive to higher learning. Led by an outstanding and experienced faculty, students benefit from a selection of intensive classes while being given time to enjoy the unparalleled and inspiring beauty of the Big Island of Hawai’i.

Separate from the long-established Vocal Program, interaction between the two takes place whenever instrumental participation is solicited.
