An innovative and student-centered music experience.
Building on our many years of festival experiences in our numerous incarnations as the Chamber Music Workshop at Big Bear Lake, the Capistrano International Chamber Music Festival, the Capistrano International String Institute, Summer Music Festival at St. Margaret's School, and two online seasons in response to the unprecedented events of our time to serve the artistic needs of students across the globe, we are pleased to present the return of the Summer Music Festival, taking place from June 27th through July 2nd, 2022 at the Paul Mellon Arts Center (PMAC) at Choate Rosemary Hall in beautiful Wallingford, Connecticut, USA.
Our fully in-person festival experience includes play-ins, workshops, community sharing performances, music topic sessions, and free public concerts. Programs span a wide range of ability levels for violin, viola, and cello, with courses designed to align with the cognitive needs of students of all ages.

Choate Rosemary Hall
Two interwoven priorities define the Choate experience: a rigorous academic curriculum and an emphasis on the formation of character in a residential setting that allows for teachers and students to live with, and learn from, each other in important ways.
Choate also fosters community involvement and service as it prepares students to assume leadership roles in an ever-changing world. As part of its commitment to character formation, the school offers regular community-wide reflections on moral and spiritual issues, as well as exposure to various religious traditions.
Choate attracts intellectually gifted and motivated students from diverse backgrounds whose commitment to serious study is enhanced in this personally supportive and academically challenging setting. On a campus that inspires a particular sensitivity to beauty, teachers — who share genuine respect and affection for young people — impart an enthusiasm for life and for learning.
