Kaufman Music Center's SummerFest

Stepping into the sun-drenched vibrancy of the Kaufman Music Center's SummerFest, families are greeted by the harmonious symphony of pianos, violins, and cellos. Catering for the devoted talents aged 14 – 22, this remarkable music hub offers an immersive exploration into the world of refined artistry over one intensive week. With the guidance of luminaries like Richard Aaron, Margaret Batjer, and Richard Goode, to name just a few, young musicians get to take part in masterclasses, valuable lessons, interactive workshops, chamber ensembles, and enjoy riveting performance opportunities. This can be a definitive junction for their burgeoning artistic career. This camp stimulates not just the strings of instruments, but seeds of creativity, bathing attendees in a memorable experience where melodies, rhythms, and harmonies intertwine with passion-filled teaching. Each participant is promised a chance to demonstrate their skills in one masterclass while receiving two enlightening lessons, or performing in two masterclasses and getting schooled in one lesson from three different esteemed guest faculty. Navigating through SummerFest, the strains of music rise and fall, carrying dreams and aspirations alongside the notes. It’s an engaging itinerary that is as joyous as it is educational, offering mastery from industry heavyweights, invoking sparks of inspiration within young hearts, and nurturing their devotion to the art. SummerFest is more than a camp, it's a journey for serious young musicians, helping them find their rhythm amidst the hustle and bustle of a dynamic city like New York. This week-long event may pass by in the blink of an eye, but the experiences gained and friendships built under the hallowed roof of Kaufman Music Centre are sure to echo through the corridors of their musical journey, for years to come.
