Soiva Music Camp
June 22 - 30, 2013 camp session Registration Form
Soiva Music Camp is held at Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota. Soiva is an international music adventure in partnership between Concordia College and Finlandia Foundation National with additional support from the Minnesota Finnish American Historical Society. This year Soiva Camp will be a week later - June 22 - 30, 2013 and campers will have the opportunity to perform at the Norwegian Stave Church during the Hjemkomst Festival.
Soiva Music Camp provides a perfect opportunity to experience world-class music instruction on a whole new level. Private lessons are given on piano, flute, clarinet, violin, and composition/improvisation. At Soiva, students interact with first-rate faculty and other students from both the U.S. and Finland. In addition to receiving individual lessons, students also discover the joy of playing in small chamber music ensembles. Their daily musical experiences culminate in a final public concert.

Experience at Soiva Camp
"I play the flute and at this camp I learned music by Finnish composers for the first time. There was also composition and improvisation which was fun, and I performed the piece I composed at the final concert. Along with the instructors from Finland were other kids, and it was interesting to talk about our similarities and differences and how our countries view each other. I hope to be able to return to Soiva again sometime."
