“Such a high level of artistry and musicianship--perfect place to explore your creativity. Best festival EVER!”
—instrumental participant

“With all the practicing and warming-up and counting, this is obviously a festival about music-making. But my experience here has been largely one of listening: to new musics, to incredibly thoughtful professionals, to my energized and wildly talented peers. My own artistry has been nurtured by all this listening.“
—instrumental participant

“This festival blows every other festival I've been to out of the water. The amount of rehearsal time, faculty interaction, and great performances is ridiculous. I will definitely apply again.“
—composer participant

“The selection of composers and instrumentalists was OUTSTANDING! I have never had a more enjoyable experience with new music. Everyone in attendance and the faculty were supportive, caring, educational, and 100% open to new ideas and collaboration”
—vocal participant

“This experience was extremely beneficial for someone like myself who is interested in diving into creative arts, composition, and musical performances and seeing a very large scope of artistic mediums and creative spectrums. My horizons for what is possible has been expanded and questioned since my time there.”
