Held on January 31 and February 1, the 2025 Symposium features clinicians Dr. Tricia Cornett, Dr. Timothy Heath, and Dr. Natalie Smith.

Joining the Symposium again this year is NexTonal, a professional chamber winds ensemble from the Triad Area (Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point) of North Carolina.

Participant and Observer tracks are available for the Symposium with the following registration fee:

Observers may attend one or both days of the Symposium. CEU certificates are available for participants and observers upon request.
