In addition to being its namesake, Franz Kneisel’s passion for chamber music is the heart and soul of Kneisel Hall.
Kneisel Hall offers three distinct programs for music students, young professional artists, and adult life-long learners.
Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival returns in 2023 with the best of chamber music. Join us from June 30 to August 27, 2023. We look forward to sharing a full slate of Friday and Sunday concerts, Open Rehearsals, Masterclasses, and the ever popular Young Artist Concert series.
Your donation supports our musicians and the music they make.
‘Trailblazing’ and ‘Dean of American Composers’ are just a couple of descriptors associated with composers William Grant Still (1895-1978) and George Walker (1922-2018). During their lifetime, they were each a composer of many ‘firsts’, breaking new grounds in American classical music. Yet today, their music is not nearly as understood or appreciated as they deserve.
For our Week 5 program, Kneisel Hall faculty and young artists were very glad for the opportunity to gain a deeper insight into the world of these Great Americans, and to study their music alongside works by Mozart and Dvořák.
Tune in to our YouTube channel starting 7:30pm EDT tonight, Saturday, August 7 to listen to our 5th Virtual Concert. The concert stream will be available on YouTube for one week.
We were also happy to welcome our session 2 faculty to Kneisel Hall, featured in this week’s program!
