The historic and beautiful Ellen Battell Stoeckel Estate provides an intimate environment for summer study. All participants receive a fellowship covering the full cost of tuition. Artist-faculty perform in Festival concerts on Fridays and Saturdays. Fellows perform in the Young Artists Recitals held twice or more each week. Several sessions of study are offered each summer.
Admission is by audition, and enrollment is limited to fifty.
One or more Workshops are also offered each summer. Each focuses on a particular area of the chamber music repertoire, and is generally limited to twenty or fewer participants. In 2001 there will be a Contemporary Music Workshop from June 25 to July 7. Selected colleges, universities, and professional art schools across the country and abroad are invited to nominate for these fellowships two candidates who are currently enrolled as juniors in their programs. Students follow a required program of painting, drawing, printmaking, and photography.
