Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Welcome to Csehy Summer School of Music. I trust that as you browse our site, you will catch the spirit and vision of our founders, Wilmos and Gladys Csehy. It was their dream to see young musicians have the opportunity to discover the compatability of muscal excellence and Christian commitment in a relaxed summer camp setting. Since 1962, thousands of young people have fullfilled that dream. Last summer we had campers come from nine countries and nineteen states to experience Csehy Summer School of Music. They discovered a caring community with similar passions for incredible music and authentic Christianity.
I am excited about the 2011 season, our 50th summer season! In celebration of this momentous occasion, the entire year has been designated as our "Golden Jubilee." In the Old Testament, the Hebrew nation celebrated every 50 years in significant and sacrificial ways. Land was returned to the original owners, slaves were freed, and the entire nation reflected on the relationship that God desired to have with them individually and corporately. In effect, the Year of Jubilee was intended to reset everything and get back to God's original intent. I pray that Csehy's Golden Jubilee celebration will serve the same purpose. Our theme for the summer and for the entire year is "Reflect...Rejoice...Respond." I pray that you will celebrate with us the many blessings of the last 50 years and anticipate with us the blessings yet to come.
If you desire to learn more about Wilmos and Gladys Csehy and the history of the camp, I would encourage you to obtain a copy of Heartstrings. This biography of Wilmos Csehy reveals the man and his passion for Christ and for music. I know you will find it inspiring, and it will give you a much greater appreciation for this wonderful ministry that bears his name.
In Christ's service,
Executive Director
