Students participating in the University of the Virgin Islands annual Summer Music Camp will perform six free concerts in July and August on St. Thomas. The concerts – which are open to the public – will be held from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., primarily on Wednesdays in Emancipation Garden. A special, Emancipation Day/pre-Fourth of July concert will be held from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, July 3.
The camp, under the direction of UVI’s Austin A. Venzen, professor of music, has drawn students from junior and senior high schools on St. Thomas and Anguilla. Prof. Venzen encourages members of the community to show support for the budding musicians and to be treated to wonderful music by attending the free concerts.
