The Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival has seen tremendous growth over its first three seasons. Over 2000 people have attended concerts and participated in master classes, Listening Clubs, and other related activities. Over the course of three seasons the Festival has presented 25 concerts, and now has an established Summer Festival subscription series, a Winter Encore mini-series, and a growing list of outreach and engagement activities.
The Festival has strong partnerships with other area organizations, including the Vermont Youth Orchestra, the Young Writers Project, Burlington City Arts, and the Department of Music at SUNY Plattsburgh. Plans for the future revolve around strengthening and nurturing these partnerships and others.
We hope you will consider supporting the Festival financially, as well as participating by attending concerts, masterclasses, and more. Please invite your friends to do the same. Together, we can ensure that what began as a dream of Soovin and a few friends is a lasting and wonderful part of our cultural landscape. The Festival is a 501(c)3 organization, and gifts are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Your gift allows us to:
- Keep ticket prices affordable.
- Continue to bring artists of the highest caliber to participate in the Festival.
- Support the Young Composers Seminar. This tuition-free festival within a festival has already enabled us to bring eight of the country’s most outstanding young composers to work and learn together. Vermonter Tim Woos (2009 Young Composers Seminar), is now studying composition at the Curtis Institute, and is one of several LCCMF Young Composers to be honored by the Morton Gould Young Composer Awards. By supporting young composers like Tim, you are helping to ensure that chamber music composition remains a vibrant, living art-form.
- Include free Bach on Church and other outreach events as part of the Festival. These shorter concerts in more intimate settings have proved to be a hit with Festival goers.
