Credo is a summer program of intensive chamber music study designed to
nurture the serious music student artistically and spiritually.
What makes Credo totally unique among professional level programs is
Credo's celebration of musical excellence as a gift of the Spirit. Credo
successfully brings together students from a wide variety of faith
backgrounds in pursuit of understanding and implementation of the
principles of compassion, selflessness, discipline and universal love.
Led from a non denominational Christian perspective, the daily Morning
Sing group devotional sets a positive context for coachings, rehearsals,
lessons,
recreation and informal discussion. Students also set aside one
day per week for service to others in nursing homes and various service
organizations in order to cultivate an attitude of giving back to
others. Credo's conscious redefinition of "success" produces amazing
results in its students: significant musical growth and a new
understanding of the joys and responsibilities of artistic excellence.
The often life-changing experience of Credo helps its students be more
engaging members of their communities, families and musical ensembles.
Credo's mission is threefold:
The Credo festival along with other unique music programs are presented by SMI-Credo.
SMI-Credo offers intensive pre-professional music programs which represent a unique amalgam of musical development,
rewarding service projects, and personal/spiritual growth.
Credo is an intensive chamber music program for exceptional string and piano students, ages 13-22.
Students receive extensive daily coaching and mentoring with world-class faculty.
