June at RMC

Founding Season is here, and exciting new partnerships are helping shape what's next.

RMC Summer Newsletter July and August have been filled with music, community, and plenty to celebrate at The Raleigh Music Collective. From wrapping up our summer programming and an unforgettable week of Summer Camp to preparing for a new school year, our students and teaching artists have made the most of these final weeks of summer. Here's a look at what we've been up to — and what's coming next! Summer Camp 2026 Highlights We had an amazing final week of July at our Summer Camp! Our students had the opportunity to work on music by Mahler, Mozart, and Prokofiev, as well as music by the incredible living composer Armond Vance. Summer Camp is always an important week for our students to grow, challenge themselves, and advance their skills. With five full days of music-making, they have the chance to make significant progress before ending the week with a Final Concert where they can share everything they’ve worked on. But it’s not all music! Our students also enjoyed a movie, performed in our Talent Show, played soccer and volleyball outside, and, most importantly, had plenty of time to have fun with their friends. Celebrating Lia at YOLA National Festival! 🎻 We are so proud of RMC violist Lia Wilson, who was selected to participate in the 2026 YOLA National Festival in Los Angeles! Presented by the LA Phil, YOLA National brings together young musicians from El Sistema-inspired programs across the country for an intensive week of orchestral training, collaboration, and performance. Students have the opportunity to learn alongside peers from across the U.S., work with exceptional faculty and guest artists, and perform at Walt Disney Concert Hall. We need your support!

Beginner Strings Bootcamp Starts Next Week! 🎻 Over four consecutive days, our newest RMC students will participate in Beginner Strings Bootcamp, designed to help them build a strong foundation and prepare for a successful transition into the Fall semester. We launched this initiative last year and saw a significant improvement in our beginners’ success during their first few months of learning an instrument. We’re excited to welcome a new group of young musicians and give them the tools and confidence to start their musical journey!
