The All-Stars of Music Program is a premier educational and performance experience for middle and high school musicians. Students from across the state are nominated to participate in world-class ensembles led by top educators and conductors, culminating in an unforgettable travel and performance tour.

Participation is by nomination or invitation only. Music educators can nominate outstanding students based on their musical abilities and commitment. **Jr. All-Stars of Music Eligibility:** Students must be in 5th-8th grade during the nomination year and enrolled in a school ensemble through the end of the school year before the trip. **Sr. All-Stars of Music Eligibility:** Students must be in 8th-11th grade during the nomination year and enrolled in a school ensemble through the end of the school year before the trip.

All-Stars combines high-level musical instruction with cultural immersion and travel. Students have the opportunity to learn under the direction of notable conductors in an experience not offered elsewhere. It’s about creating lifelong memories and meaningful connections with talented musicians from across the state and beyond.
