Debutants Hoot Camp

Spend a week learning and jamming with Indiana’s hottest "newgrass" string collective, Debutants! From festivals across the country to Fort Wayne’s very own Clyde Theater, Debutants have dazzled audiences with their innovative arrangements and high energy live shows!

Designed for students in grades 4-12, this week-long camp will explore ear training and improvisation in an acoustic string band setting. Students can register for violin/fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo, upright bass, cello, or viola. Students will spend each day learning from the touring performers and licensed educators that make up Debutants. Students will engage with each other to learn new skills and collaborate in an intensive and hands-on musical experience.

To wrap up the week, Hoot Camp students are invited to join the Debutants onstage for a performance in PFW’s Auer Concert Hall in collaboration with PBS 39’s Summit City Music Series. Food trucks will be on site Friday evening. Campers will bring a sack lunch and drink to class each day.
