Spend a Day Making Music at Furman—and Perform It That Afternoon!
Join the faculty and students of Furman University for Furman String Day, an exciting one-day event for high school string musicians in grades 9–12.
In just one day, you’ll rehearse with fellow string players, work with Furman’s outstanding string faculty in instrument-specific sectionals, hear performances and insights from Furman students and faculty, and perform the music you’ve prepared for family and friends in a culminating concert.
Along the way, you’ll experience a day in the life of a Furman music student, meet fellow musicians from across the region, and connect with local music organizations and sponsors.
Registration includes all music, lunch, and an exclusive Furman String Day T-shirt.
Open to violin, viola, cello, and double bass students in grades 9–12.
Final day to register is Wednesday, September 9th by Noon. After this date, contact Stephan Fillare if you would like to attend.
