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.

Wonderful concerts!

Even at 9 AM yesterday, you could feel it was going to be a special day.  Everyone associated with the camp could feel the "buzz" as the students - motivated and inspired by the faculty performance Friday - couldn't wait to show the results of their hard work.  The afternoon performance was astonishing not only for its quality, but also for its quantity - nearly 3 hrs of chamber music prepared in just a week!  The evening concert was more tightly focused time-wise (at about 100 minutes) - was it because an ice cream party was waiting in the "Sky Lounge" in the new Kohl Building of Oberlin Conservatory?  Before singing "grace" at this event, festival director Peter Slowik spoke to the students about the grace they have shown dealing with unusual heat, a water main break,m and  the security incident.  The students have grown and prospered in spite of these sometimes challenging conditions, making great music, forging a tight-knit community, and sharing the Credo spirit with everyone they encounter.
