WITH A STRONG FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL TECHNICAL MASTERY AND ARTISTIC GROWTH ROOTED IN COMMUNICATION, THE FESTIVAL FOSTERS A CHALLENGING, IMMERSIVE MUSICAL ENVIRONMENT.

PERFORMANCE GUILD - STUDENTS FROM THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES OF RAPID CITY AND SPEARFISH PERFORMED FOR OUT-OF-STATE JUDGES TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK AND THEN PERFORM IN A SHOWCASE CONCERT.


IN ORDER TO ENHANCE ACCESSIBILITY TO CLASSICAL MUSIC, WE APPLIED FOR AND RECEIVED A GRANT TO CREATE PROJECT BEETHOVAN. PROJECT BEETHOVAN ALLOWS THE RUSHMORE MUSIC FESTIVAL TO TO BRING WORLD-CLASS CLASSICAL MUSIC PERFORMANCES DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. WE DO THIS THROUGH THE ACQUISITION AND CUSTOMIZATION OF A 12-PASSENGER VAN, AN ENCLOSED CARGO TRAILER, AND THE THE RETROFITTING OF THE ENCLOSED CARGO TRAILER INTO A MOBILE CONCERT VENUE. LABOR WAS PROVIDED THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH SOUTH DAKOTA SCHOOL OF MINES AND TECHNOLOGY MECHANICAL ENGINEERING STUDENTS. THIS PROJECT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 2023.
