How many pianists are in the Luzerne Music Center?

The Junior and Senior sessions are divided primarily by age, and each make up one full orchestra and a small department of eight to 12 pianists. The intimate size lends itself to an 8:1 student to staff ratio, and guarantees significant personal attention for each attendee. The schedule at LMC is rigorous, enriching and designed in such a way that students can easily immerse themselves in music studies.

How many concerts does LMC have?

LMC presents more than 30 concerts each summer, and most feature our student body. Students might perform solo or with a small ensemble in the Lodge or on the Shed stage with the full Orchestra or Jazz Ensemble.
