THE PROGRAM

Outstanding students and young professionals – individuals and pre-formed ensembles – join a renowned faculty of dedicated artist-teachers for an in-depth exploration of the rich chamber music literature. Over the course of five weeks, they study and perform repertoire from the Baroque to the present day, in an intimate, inspiring, and highly supportive learning environment. Students and faculty perform together, in over 30 concerts in and around Putney, Vermont. The informal yet intense atmosphere features frequent performances of varied repertoire and fosters both musical and personal growth. Click here for details from the 2009 Yellow Barn Program.

The town is home to an eclectic collection of shops and inns, with ready access to hiking, biking, swimming, tennis, horseback riding, and other recreational activities. Dormitory, dining and rehearsal facilities are at the lovely mountainside campus of The Greenwood School, just above the village.
