Enjoy a day of music with the DePauw University applied music faculty on our beautiful campus in Greencastle, Indiana!  Attendees will take part in masterclasses with our world-class instrumental wind and percussion faculty, take part in a large ensemble experience (which will include learning about conducting, large ensemble performance techniques, and repertoire selection), lunch in our expansive Hoover Dining Hall, Admission “walks” around campus, and a personal Q & A session with our applied faculty.

Join us!
