Now in its sixth season, the Festival is dedicated to increasing accessibility to chamber music and showcasing some of the world’s top young professional artists from the U.S. and abroad. Founder and Artistic Director, Kyle Barrett Price, is proud to feature well-established young instrumentalists, many of them returning musicians of the annual festival, as well as special guest artists well known in the music scene.
