Tucked away in the mountains of Western North Carolina, the
Brevard Music Center is another classical music proving ground for aspiring musicians. The Center is led by Artistic Director
Keith Lockhart, who also conducts the
Boston Pops Orchestra and the
Utah Symphony. “As an alumnus of Brevard Music Center, I can testify personally to the profound impact this place can have on a young musician,” Lockhart observes. “Life decisions are made here.”
