Popular Mid Western Music Camp at K U Founded Thirteen Years Ago
The Mid Western Music Camp at Kansas University grew from a small start during hard times to host musicians from 16 states. It features a band of about 160, an orchestra of around 85, and a chorus near 100, with a recent shift creating a large voice program. Notables include Dean Swarthout, Wiley, and Carney, plus numerous guest conductors from major orchestras. The camp offers university student section leaders, private lessons, and opportunities for high school musicians to study, perform, and prepare for professional careers.
