Manchester Music Festival Young Artists Concert

EVENT CANCELLED – Please visit the Manchester Music Festival for further information.

We are thrilled to present the Young Artists of Manchester Music Festival to the Bennington Museum community of classical music aficionados.

These talented musicians, ages 18-26, will spend the summer honing their craft under the tutelage of MMF’s guest faculty artists as part of their full-scholarship chamber music intensive with the Festival.  This year’s class hail from some of the most prestigious music institutions in the world including Julliard, Oberlin, Yale, and Eastman.

The MMF Young Artists Program provides these rising stars the opportunity to study and perform chamber music at a high level, and to benefit from the outstanding musical guidance that the illustrious artist faculty offer on a daily basis. During their five-week stay with Manchester Music Festival, students study several chamber masterworks, receive daily coaching sessions by the faculty artists, and participate in masterclasses, in addition to their weekly public performances.

The concert is free, but donations to support the MMF Young Artists Program can be made before or after the concert (cash or check). The performance will take place in the Paresky Wing on the 2nd floor of the Museum.
