Observers may attend one or both days of the Symposium. CEU certificates are available for participants and observers upon request.
The Symposium will focus on chamber wind music and offer professional quality videos, several classes from clinicians, and video analysis.

Observers have the opportunity to participate in a conducting workshop each day.
