OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | For seven decades, musicians from the United States, Canada, Europe, and elsewhere have gathered each summer in Vermont–nearly forty years at Bennington College–to play chamber music and to grow as musicians. What attracts these musicians, and brings them back, is the love of playing chamber music, the chance to learn from world-class performers and teachers, and the joy of seeing old friends and making new ones.

The Bennington Chamber Music Conference offers outstanding chamber music coaching, faculty concerts and seminars, opportunities for free playing, and a vibrant program of composer residencies, in a historic and verdant New England setting at the foot of the Green Mountains. This combination of features creates a unique and exhilarating musical immersion.
