Just wow for all involved.

PS – If you are waiting for an email that says you registered, you are not going to get one. At the end of the registration form there was a message that read, “thank you for reregistering.” Congrats, you are in! Come when you can, don’t when you can’t, but try not to miss the fun and music making.   ~ Holgate

Whoa. We have never had this many students register for BERKS SUMMER STRINGS, especially this early with 3 weeks yet to go. Here is where the students are coming from.

Don’t put your strings away after the last day of school! Keep them out. We are gearing up for our 7th season of Berks Summer String Institute. Great music, teachers, friends and time together.
