Presto PACO Summer Camp

Dates: July 20-24, 2026  

Presto PACO is our program for string players ages 8 – 13.  Open to both PACO members from SuperStrings, Prep and young musicians from our community, this is a chamber music workshop led by our very own Natasha Makhijani and Jory Fankuchen, and  assisted by a stellar faculty as well as recent PACO graduates.  For SuperStrings and Prep students, your season starts with Presto PACO.  

This is an excellent opportunity to experience PACO’s unique brand of chamber music “magic” for those students not old enough for PACO Camp.  Every student is placed in a string quartet or trio, coached twice daily, given the opportunity to perform in master classes and an end-of-session public performance by each chamber ensemble, songs by the all- camp choir,  plus the all-camp Presto PACO string orchestra which also rehearses daily.   

Auditions for Presto PACO will be available in April 2026.   Current Superstrings and Prep students do not need to audition.
