Held in Jamaica, VT, Pikes Falls Chamber Music Festival had a successful inaugural year in the summer of 2012.
This year, we're expanding just a little. PFCM in 2013 will span 10 days and include 9 performing musicians, a conductor, a composer-in-residence, and an artist-in-residence. We have an additional evening concert scheduled, and all three will include pre-concert talks and post-concert receptions. The festival will also host an afternoon family concert, a Hurricane Irene fundraising concert, a music/art collaboration for kids and young adults, an open rehearsal, and a community potluck with an open mic. The programming is exciting, including works by Mozart, Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky, and Schubert. In addition, Joe Hallman is going to have a piece performed at each of the concerts, with a triple concerto world-premiere at the closing concert.
There will also be some [musical] surprises for Jamaica, VT along the way...
PFCM wants to become a lasting part of Jamaica's artistic community. Ultimately, the festival's goals include a multi-week session in the summertime, along with a shorter residency in the winter. In addition, the ideal would be to enlarge the educational component to involve a fellowship for young musicians and composers from the area to work alongside PFCM musicians.
