Students attending the fourth annual Delta Music Institute (DMI) Summer Camp will present a free concert of commercial music at 7 p.m., Saturday, July 17, in the Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) on the campus of Delta State University. The concert will include material from the rock and soul genres, along with several original songs created by the camp’s songwriting students. Eighteen students ages 15-18 from across the state of Mississippi are participating in the 2010 DMI Summer Camp. The intensive six-day residential camp experience explores three music career tracks, including audio engineering, performance, and songwriting that are integrated together, culminating in a recording session at the DMI studios and showcase performance at the BPAC. Instructors for the DMI camp are Delta Music Institute faculty members along with visiting music industry professionals. The Delta Music Institute is a first step towards an extensive program in Music Industry Studies at Delta State. The focus of the DMI is to provide students with a broad and thorough education in the technological, business, and creative areas of the music industry. The concert is open to the public. Supporters of young musicians are encouraged to attend and enjoy the show. For more information, call the DMI office at (662) 846-4579. |
