The camp will be from 9-11:15am Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from June 10-June 28 with a Performance at the Syracuse Days celebration on June 29. Campers will rotate between four classes of music, choreography, acting skills, and crafts/backstage skills. Classes will be held in the Syracuse Community Center classrooms. Camp is for children between the ages of 5-17. Sign-up online at http://www.syracuserecreation.com or in person at the Syracuse Community Center beginning May 1.

If interested please contact Brie Corrington at brie@syracuseutaharts.org.
Our next Orchestra concert will be at 7:00 on April 8th. This concert will be our spring showcase and will focus on some of our Orchestra favorites, including popular selections from previous concerts. Come out and enjoy this free event with the family.
