Major Schedule Changes for 2026
- Opening Session on Monday morning at 8:30 AM instead of Sunday evening
Our traditional opening session featuring the keynote address from 5 time International Quartet Champion Tony De Rosa will be on Monday at 8:30 AM, instead of Sunday evening as it has been historically.
This is to provide more flexibility for those with later arrivals or travel delays, so they don’t miss out on one of the most exciting HU experiences.
A more breathable M-F course schedule: there will be no late evening or early morning classes, and all electives will take place on Saturday only. This will allow more time for meals so you don’t feel like you have to miss out!
New: Evening Activities every single night!
