Music students have a bright summer ahead, thanks to the opportunities created by the Atlanta Music Project, or AMP.

The program’s annual Summer Series is a music training camp where young musicians can learn alongside professional players, including world-class virtuosos.

This year, the Nashville Symphony’s principal oboist, Titus Underwood, has been named artist-in-residence, which will include giving a masterclass, performing an opening night concert with the students, and having a “fireside chat” open to the public, all taking place June 6 and 7.

Underwood and AMP co-Founder Dantes Rameau joined “City Lights” host Lois Retizes to discuss this summer’s programming.
