Held in Jamaica, VT, Pikes Falls Chamber Music Festival had a successful inaugural year in the summer of 2012 and an even better second summer in 2013.
This year, we're expanding just a little more. PFCM in 2014 will span 12 days and include 9 performing musicians, a conductor, a composer-in-residence, and 3 artists-in-residences. All three evening concerts will again include pre-concert talks and post-concert receptions. The festival will also host an afternoon family concert, a music/art collaboration for kids and young adults, an open rehearsal, and a community potluck with an open mic.
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 3-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, composers, and visual artists from the area to work alongside PFCM musicians.
