New England Music Camp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New England Music Camp (NEMC) is a summer camp for music students ages 12-18, located on 200 acres in Sidney, Maine, on the eastern shore of Messalonskee Lake in the Belgrade Lakes region. It was founded in 1937 on the site of the defunct Eastern Music Camp.
The camp has facilities for some 200 campers as well as faculty and staff. It follows a balanced structure of musical training (in the morning) and standard athletic activities (in the afternoon) such as sailing, kayaking, archery, etc. There are numerous concerts offered free to the public during its seven-week season on site at the Bowl in the Pines or Alumni Hall (respectively, the camp's outdoor and indoor performance venues). Two pops-style concerts are presented for a small fee at the nearby Oakland Performing Arts Center in Oakland. New England Music Camp has many alumni move on to successful careers in music. NEMC alumni have won positions in the St. Louis Symphony, the Chicago Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra and the Houston Symphony.
