Alumni Network
New England Music Camp Alumni members number in the thousands. Many of our former campers, counselors, faculty and staff members have gone on to successful solo careers in music, participate in prestigious orchestras around the world, and have dedicated their lives to music education. Many of our alumni return to NEMC as members of our faculty and staff.
We stay connected with alumni though an email newsletter, host alumni gatherings and parties across the country, and sponsor a reunion weekend every five years. In the true spirit of NEMC an Alumni supported scholarship fund reinforces the the long time philosophy that regardless of an applicant’s financial means, all deserving young musicians will be able to attend New England Music Camp.
Alumni Visiting Artist Program
Each summer we welcome a distinguished alumni guest artist back to camp. Artists spend a week teaching, performing and re-experiencing the magic of NEMC. The program, sponsored by the NEMC Board of Advisors, allows campers the unique opportunity to work closely with musicians who were once campers just like them and who have gone on to successful careers in music.
