Meadowmount’s Program

Founded in 1944, Meadowmount School of Music is a seven-week summer program for young violinists, violists, and cellists whose approach of intensive study and practice has helped mold some of the greatest artists of our time. Musicians ages 13 to 30+ from around the world gather at the school’s campus in the Adirondack Mountains to further their musical studies with, in the founder’s words, “a special spirit that is conducive to total concentration on excellence in musical performance.”

With a capacity enrollment of 200 on the 52-building, 240-acre campus, the school retains an intimacy that provides for personal attention and fosters camaraderie among the students. Many of the school’s alumni return as members of the faculty, ensuring the continuity of the Meadowmount teaching tradition.

Students follow a rigorous practice regimen, receive weekly private lessons and chamber music coachings, and are offered daily master classes by faculty and guest artists. Students perform frequently in concerts throughout the session. Concerts, chamber music coaching, chamber music rehearsals, studio classes, rehearsals with accompanists, master classes and special events are scheduled in the afternoons and evenings, and off-campus recreational activities are offered afternoons and weekends.
