News that’s music to your ears! The Disney Performing Arts Conservatory returns to the Disneyland Resort this summer giving young performers from all around the world the chance to improve their performance skills! And, for the first time ever, musicians can join in on the action with an instrumental conservatory in addition to the musical theatre conservatory for actors, singers and dancers.
On select dates in July and August, performers ages 14 through 22 will be able to spend five consecutive days finessing their craft with industry-recognized teaching artists at the Disneyland Resort. The conservatories are filled with in-depth work sessions, immersive classes, professional panels, multiple behind-the-scenes and in-park learning experiences, and of course, a sprinkle of Disney magic.
The instrumental conservatory focuses on performance skills, sight reading and musicianship while the musical theatre conservatory focuses on acting, dancing and vocal techniques, both taught by Disney entertainment professionals.
The five-day program culminates with students performing live on stage in one of the theme parks at the Disneyland Resort! Instrumental conservatory students will come together for a grand concert performance of a live soundtrack to classic Disney shorts and film segments and musical theatre conservatory students will perform under the direction of a Disney teaching artist all while dazzling Disneyland Guests.
The excitement doesn’t stop there! Be sure to stay tuned to our Facebook page as we announce guest artists from the Disney family that will be surprising and delighting students throughout the programs.
