Curriculum
KMF 2024 marks 42 years of chamber music making in Vermont’s Green Mountains. Chamber music, considered the essence of ensemble skill and the development of well-rounded musicians, maximizes artistic potential and communication. KMF’s curriculum enhances these traits through personalized small ensemble experiences, private lessons, coachings, studio classes, masterclasses, and performances.
Steered by highly trained faculty who motivate and inspire goal driven initiatives, KMF attests that all participants conclude their summers knowing more, sounding better, and understanding how chamber music skills are transferable to other areas of their lives!
KMF welcomes those who wish to become more complete musicians by developing chamber music skills.
