Come join us for our 46th Anniversary of Music in the Mountains!
The Virginia Suzuki Institute is a small institute nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The campus is beautiful and everything is within walking distance. We have a talent show, evening concerts, games on the lawn, and great activities for the whole family.
Having the Kontras String Quartet in residence for the chamber music program makes this a very appropriate institute for families with students at different ages and levels of playing. There is something for everyone.
Our unique program for Adults allows all ages and stages to enjoy a great week of music making.
New!!! We are bring Suzuki Mandolin to the USA. Amelia Saracco is coming from Italy to do the first Suzuki Mandolin Enrichment Course for teachers. Students will also be able to sign up for a mandolin elective.
