Harry Mayrhofer, of Fleetwood, was among a select group of high school students who recently participated in Susquehanna University’s week-long Wind Ensemble Institute.
The residential summer program for talented high school musicians focuses on chamber music and symphonic wind ensemble performance, with a full daily schedule of rehearsals, private lessons, seminars and performances. Students are admitted to the program by audition and have the opportunity to interact with distinguished Susquehanna faculty and other musically gifted peers. The program culminates in a public concert conducted by Eric L. Hinton, associate professor of music and director of bands at Susquehanna. In addition to professional training and performing, participants enjoy social activities such as a game night, pool party and trip to Knoebels Amusement Resort in nearby Elysburg.
Mayrhofer is a student at Brandywine Heights High School in the Class of 2017 and the son of Rudolph and Shari Mayrhofer.
