About Us

Bravo! was established in 1989 by Sally O’Reilly to meet the needs of the growing number of young musicians who choose to spend a portion of each summer focusing on their development as musicians and instrumentalists.

In 2023, Bravo! will be at Shattuck-St. Mary’s School in Faribault, MN for the sixth year in a row, and welcoming vocalists as well. During their time at Bravo!, students receive four one-hour private lessons, two technique classes, and four chamber music coaching sessions, in addition to all master class and recital opportunities.

Meet our world-class faculty, learn more about the site––historic Shattuck-St. Mary’s School––or apply today.

Need-based and merit-based scholarships are available. Contact the director, Benjamin Downs, at benjamin.downs@s-sm.org today to learn more.
