"It's hard to believe the MasterWorks Festival is already preparing for its 14th season. In just a few weeks students from around the world will descend on Winona Lake, Indiana to attend MasterWorks 2010. Each year, the festival grows in number and excellence and we are anticipating 2010 to be our best year yet.

"If you are first-time visitor to our site, we are excited about your interest in the MasterWorks Festival and encourage you to browse through our programs. You'll find them located under our Prospective Students section. If you are a returning alumni, we are excited to be able to offer you a better way to connect with your fellow artists through our on-site chat forums and MWF news updates. Look for these under our Alumni section.

"I look forward to seeing each one of you this summer, as we perform our art with excellence and pursue Christ with passion!"

Sincerely,

Dr. Patrick Kavanaugh
Artistic Director

What people are saying about the Masterworks Festival

"While at MasterWorks I found a purpose for playing my violin, and that has helped me to really try to improve my playing"

-John, Orchestra

"I have never before found a professional musical organization that had both a commitment to Christian excellence and a commitment to musical excellence. There was never a moment where both of these aspirations were not expressed equally."

-Jeremy, Voice

"MasterWorks has changed my view of performing. It is not just doing what one learned on stage, but it is a place in one’s heart and soul-that whenever people use the talents God has given them, they are worshiping Him."

-Lisa, Dance

"I learned so much about acting and performing, as well as music and movement, and how we have God to thank for it all!"

-Geoffrey, Theatre

"At MasterWorks God really spoke to my heart about what it means for my self-worth to be in Him and in who He says I am."

-Bethany, Clarinet

It is an honor and a privilege for Grace College to partner with the MasterWorks Festival. Together we endeavor to advance performing arts with excellence while pursuing Christ with passion.
