Despite popular belief, the genius of acclaimed composer Stephen Schwartz has been ringing in the public’s ears on more than one occasion.

In fact, BUTI is the most prestigious summer orchestra program in the world. Under the guidance of the elite Boston Symphony Orchestra and other professionals, BUTI is an artistic haven, driven by the passion and skill of those who attend. From a 7:30 a.m. wake up everyday to many music-filled late nights, it’s really quite the experience.
