Founded by Kevin Lawrence in 2004, Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival has become a major presence on the U.S. scene for serious young string players. This summer, from June 24-July 22, Green Mountain will welcome 185 students from the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America for a month of intensive summer study in Burlington, Vermont. 35 distinguished faculty from conservatories and music schools across the country - from Juilliard to the University of Southern California - will serve as mentors to these students, and will also present a concert series that has won multiple awards from the National Endowment for the Arts for the breadth and imagination of its programming.
