2012 Faculty-Artists-in-Residence

New Music On The Point encourages imaginative collaboration among composers, instrumentalists, and vocalists creating 21st century chamber music in a glorious setting on the shores of Lake Dunmore in Vermont.  Our two-week program fosters contemporary chamber music in a relaxing environment where aspiring musicians may explore and grow.

In June 2012, our second season features distinguished composers-in-residence Kathryn Alexander (Yale University) and Laura Schwendinger (University of Wisconsin-Madison), the electrifying JACK Quartet, our ensemble-in-residence (New York City), the mesmerizing mezzo-soprano Jennifer Beattie (Philadelphia), and Donna Loewy (Cincinnati-Conservatory of Music), our dynamic pianist-in-residence and vocal coach.

In addition, we will host a series of visiting master artists for special seminars and workshops.  Watch for those announcements later in October!

All participants engage in program activities that include private and/or master class instruction, open rehearsals, seminars, workshops and Salon Night entertainment. Every day our interactive schedule allows time for composing, practicing, and rehearsing.  In addition, there are a number of performance opportunities for the participating instrumentalists and vocalists – five Salon Night Concerts and two Final Concerts – on which are programmed contemporary repertoire and premieres of new works by the composers.

New Music On The Point accepts applications according to the following eligibility guidelines:

  • Composers: those currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program of study, as well advanced high school students
  • Instrumentalists: those currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program of study
  • Vocalists: those 17 to 35 years of age

Applications are now being taken for our 2012 season.  We strongly encourage all interested individuals to apply early as spaces in any one discipline, ie., composition, instrumental and vocal are limited.
