ABOUT STRINGWOOD and Open Music Day
A premier summer music festival, Stringwood specializes in connecting young musicians (ages 12-22) from across the United States to chamber music as an art form, and developing expression in a supportive and nurturing environment through collaborative experiences.

The Stringwood schedule provides ample time and space for personal practice and discovery, in-depth daily rehearsals and coachings, private lessons with master teachers, and generous interaction with world-class guest artists in an energized and collaborative environment.
