SCHEDULE. Beginning
on June 24th and ending on August 3rd the typical students
weekly schedule includes four hours of daily individual
practice, six hours of chamber music rehearsal, two
hours of chamber music coaching, one private lesson
and one studio class. Students participate in master
classes and workshops given by faculty and guest artists
nearly everyday.
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.
ENSEMBLES TAKE NOTE. Killington
Music Festival welcomes the application of pre-formed
ensembles who wish to spend a summer intensely focused
on their ensemble's musical development. Accepted students
will work exclusively with their pre-formed group, and
will receive regular coachings with KMF's faculty, members
of the Boston Trio, and visiting guest artists and ensembles.
Performance opportunities include the student concerts
at KMF and run-out concerts around Central Vermont.
Other opportunities include open rehearsals with the
Boston Trio and faculty performances. Each group's course
of study will be designed in consultation with the ensemble
and Artistic Director Heng-Jin Park. Preference for
admission is given to string quartets, piano trios and
piano quartets, though ensembles of other instrumentations
may be accepted on a space available basis. Students
must fill out individual applications and submit a group
recording.
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. |
