The Summit Series Artist Residency Program brings internationally acclaimed musicians, educators, and performers to Valley Christian Schools Conservatory of the Arts for a season of masterclasses, private instruction, student engagement, and public performances. Through these residencies, students gain access to transformative artistic experiences that would otherwise be available only through major conservatories and professional training programs.

We invite individuals, families, foundations, and arts advocates to partner with us in making these opportunities possible.

Your investment helps bring extraordinary artists to Valley Christian Conservatory of the Arts, expands educational opportunities for students, and enriches the cultural life of our community. Together, we can create transformative experiences that inspire excellence, cultivate artistry, and shape the next generation of musicians and leaders.
