SCHEDULE
Beginning on June 20th and ending
on July 30th the typical students weekly schedule includes
daily individual practice, two hours of chamber music
rehearsal, 2 weekly chamber music coachings, one weekly
private lesson and one weekly studio class. Faculty
and guest artists give master classes and workshops
nearly every day.
There are also many unscheduled learning opportunities.
It is not unusual to hear impromptu late-night reading
groups or extra rehearsals. The relaxed, communal atmosphere
means that faculty and students often eat and socialize
together, sharing insight, experience and advice.
What sets the Killington Music Festival apart are the
numerous student performance opportunities, concerts
at Killington and the surrounding region and master
classes.
* Please note: students may also participate in
the string orchestra, an ad hoc ensemble led by faculty
member Max Levinson.
STUDENT LIFE
Festival participants include high
school, college and graduate students and young professionals.
Housing is in a cluster of inns located within a three-minute
walk of each other.
The inns,
which are part of the greater Killington resort
area, feature swimming pools and other facilities.
While the practice and study schedule is rigorous,
the Festival staff also organizes a wide variety
of recreational activities including hikes, informal
team sports, shopping trips and movie outings.
Unfortunately not all students can be guaranteed
a roommate. If you have a roommate preference, be
sure to state this on your application. |
