LETTER FROM THE DIRECTORS OF THE
FIVE-WEEK SUMMER PERFORMANCE
PROGRAM

The Five-Week Summer Performance Program, now in its 28th
year, is the largest and most comprehensive summer music
program available anywhere. Every year, more than 1,000
participants from across the U.S. and 50 different countries
share this unique summer experience. Participants represent
all instruments, all contemporary styles, and all levels of
musical ability. The Five-Week Program, with its range of study
options, world-class instructors, and state-of-the-art facilities,
is a summer program that could only be offered at Berklee.

The Five-Week Summer Performance Program is dedicated

to helping aspiring young musicians begin to develop their
musical and life goals. The program offers young musicians

a chance to learn, study, and work with Berklee’s world-
renowned faculty. Networking is an important aspect of the
music business, and students in the program establish lifelong
friendships with their colleagues and peers while working
towards becoming the performers, songwriters, producers,
recording engineers, teachers, and music business leaders of
the future.

The Five-Week experience continues to be enhanced with

the addition of Berklee City Music scholarship students from
Boston and around the country. City Music students bring
vibrancy and diversity of thought and experience to the Five-
Week Program and have a profound effect on everyone at the
college and within the Berklee community.

We are very proud of the work and accomplishments of the
City Music program. We congratulate all the City Music staff
and students for a job well done. We are excited to hear the
students perform and look forward to them achieving their
dreams.

Warmest regards,

Rob Rose, Bob Doezema, and John Pierce
Directors of the Five-Week

Summer Performance Program
