The New Horizons Band Camp has now been a part of the fall Chautauqua landscape for more than 15 years. Dr. Roy Ernst, Founder of the New Horizons Band says, “The goal of New Horizons groups is to create an entry point to group music-making for adult beginners and a comfortable re-entry point for adults who played music in school and would like to resume after long years of building careers and raising children." In its early days at Chautauqua the camp had between 50 and 75 attendees, now it routinely draws 150-plus each year. Bellinger Hall offers comfortable lodging, great buffet meals and participants benefit from Chautauqua’s performance and practice venues in Elizabeth S. Lenna Hall, McKnight Hall, Fletcher Hall and the Turner Community Center. This year’s camp is in session from Oct. 2 - Oct. 6.
