Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. from June 27 to July 25, 2011. The program is open to instrumentalists between the ages of 15 and 20; Kentucky is hosting the National Symphony Orchestra’s American Residencies program for 2011, so more than one student from Kentucky will be selected for the summer institute.
