June Festival
June 2-16, 2025
for composers and performers 18+
Intensive interaction between participants and our internationally-renowned faculty is integral to the New Music On The Point experience. Participants work closely with faculty in private lessons, masterclasses, workshops, reading sessions, ensembles and daily seminars. Each composition participant will have one of their works performed or coached by faculty performers.
"I am blown away by the program you have created for new music! The freedom to express ourselves, enjoy the teachings of others, and have the release of all that academic tension is beautiful and I was often brought to tears listening to my new colleagues perform. I can’t tell you what a safe haven you have created for us, especially as vocal musicians. We are constantly judged out in the “real” world, and to have two weeks of non-judgment to hone our crafts and work with such a talented group of faculty and colleagues is a breath of fresh air. Compared to other summer vocal institutes, NMOP is by far superior in content."

ALL instruments and vocal types, including brass, winds, strings, piano, guitar, and percussion are welcome to apply. Please note that our campus is not equipped for large instruments such as harp, organ and marimba. If you have any questions about whether your instrument or ensemble is feasible in our space, please email us.
NMOP is in a beautiful rural space with family style meals, nightly bonfires, chamber music rehearsals in small cabins, and sunny afternoons spent on our beach or floating dock.
