Kneisel hall Chamber Music Festival, often called the "cradle of chamber music teaching in America" in the coastal village of Blue Hill, Maine, is a chamber music school, a concert series and chamber music advocate. Please join us on our picturesque campus on Blue Hill Mountain for a concert by the faculty of internationally acclaimed chamber musicians or the 50 exceedingly-talented young artists.

We invite you to treat yourself to Kneisel Hall!
