Adult Chamber Music Institute
Chamber music - a conversation between friends.
                        -Catherine Drinker Bowen

Please join us and other serious musicians for joyous music making. Your time will be filled with good company, good food, and great music. The Kneisel Hall Adult Institute is the best coached workshop in the country with distinguished chamber musicians and teaching assistants who work with groups every day. The teaching assistants, Kneisel Hall pre-professional musicians are students in some of the world’s finest music conservatories.



The Program:

Blue Hill, Maine
Kneisel Hall's Campus provides an idyllic coastal Maine village for you to get completely away from your daily routine, and allows you to be totally absorbed by the music. The Kneisel Hall Adult Institute is the best coached workshop in the country, with four distinguished chamber musicians and ten teaching assistants, students who work with groups every day. The teaching assistants, students who spend the summer at Kneisel Hall, are the chamber artists of tomorrow. They study at the the world's finest music conservatories. The enthusiastic young artists bring life and energy to all the groups—at least one of them plays in each ensemble. If you can come with a pre-formed group, great!

Your time at Kneisel Hall will include morning assigned groups, afternoon lectures on the music; master classes, stage seats for a Kneisel Hall Festival Concert, a performance by Institute playser (for those willing) and of course the Lobster Picnic.

This season we will concentrate on the music of Shostakovich and Schubert.

Coaches: Director, violist Scott Woolweaver, Founding Director cellist George Sopkin, pianist Lora Tchekoratova, and violinist Abram Loft.
