Best Kids' Music Camp

Austin Chamber Music Center

They all winced when we announced that our nine-year-old pianist was going to a summer chamber music camp. Okay, so we, too, had a few reservations: a fourth-grader swapping swimsuit for tails and baseball for Beethoven? Turned out to be a musical bird's nest on the ground: two weeks of age-appropriate music-making heaven. Lots of P.D.Q. Bach, large and small ensembles, terrific kid-friendly performers brought in daily - and Feldenkrais. Encore!
