This is the official blog for the 2010 session of the Credo Chamber Music summer festival (July 4-24). We'll be updating it each day to tell you about the activities the students are doing, fill you in on some exciting accomplishments and we will be posting photos!

Credo's vision is to nurture the artistic and personal growth of young string and piano musicians, so that they may not only become leaders in their musical disciplines but leaders in their communities. Our vision is reflected in our mission statement: Develop the Gift, Acknowledge the Source, Respond with Service.

... and they're off!


One of several fireworks last night!

Hot weather could not slow down the first day of Credo (thankfully, the conservatory is nicely air conditioned!) The hard work that everyone did before Credo really was in evidence, as some groups were excitingly cohesive to begin their work together. Other groups had a harder time getting started, but the word of the day all around the conservatory was - progress! In each group students were learning new bow strokes, adjusting to the strengths and weaknesses of their new partners, learning valuable ensemble skills, and decoding the mysteries of complex, great music. A special treat was to hear these talented musicians filling Fairchild Chapel with their beautiful voices - Morning Sing will be a fabulous time of inspirational messages (today Peter Slowik spoke on RefreshEverything, with reference to Matthew 11:28, John 4:13-14, and Phil. 4:13) and uplifting music-making!
