We’re thrilled to launch our very first New Year Adult Chamber Music Weekend, which will take place Jan 3-4. Kick off the New Year with inspiration, creativity, and connection through our Adult Chamber Music Weekend, a warm and welcoming winter experience for passionate amateur musicians, all in the historic surroundings of Happy Retreat, Charles Town. Taking place just after our Winter Music Festival, this special weekend offers a unique opportunity to reignite your love for playing or take your ensemble skills to the next level. Whether you're rediscovering your instrument or looking to deepen your chamber music experience, this workshop brings together local string players for an energizing and skill-building residency. Enjoy a weekend of focused coaching, collaborative music-making, and lively rehearsals in both small ensembles and larger interactive sessions, all led by our experienced ACMF professional musicians. Applications are now open and close on November 15. www.appalachianchamber.org/newyearchamber #chambermusic @acmpmusic #amateurmusic #adultchambermusic #musicworkshop (fb)
