Skidmore Summer Flute Institute
The Setting

Skidmore College is a highly selective liberal arts college known for outstanding academics, a rich cocurricular life, and challenging and caring faculty mentors. It is a place where creative thought matters, as evidenced by its more than 60 majors; its arts-infused, interdisciplinary focus; and the fact that half of the College’s 2,400 undergraduates carry two majors or at least one minor with a major.

Institute classes, rehearsals, and concerts are held on campus in the Filene Music Building, with program activities occurring on and off campus. Program participants who choose to live on Skidmore’s campus will be housed in one of the College’s residence halls. Dormitory rooms are spacious and feature free Internet access and cable television. Participants under the age of 18 will be supervised by the program’s resident staff. The newly renovated dining hall offers a broad array of freshly made items, including ample vegetarian options. Participants will have full use of the College’s Scribner Library and recreational options, including swimming pool, weight and fitness rooms, lighted tennis courts, track, and North Woods hiking trails. Skidmore’s Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, unique in its pioneering efforts to integrate cross-disciplinary exhibitions and programming into the life of a liberal arts college, is also well worth a visit.
