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 will return in 2023 with the best of chamber music. Mark your calendars 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.
