The National Music Festival

 
 

Welcome to the official website of the National Music Festival. The Festival's second season, in Chestertown, Maryland, brings together world-class mentors and gifted apprentice musicians on the cusp of their professional careers. The two groups rehearse and perform together in orchestral, chamber, solo recital, vocal, choral and chamber opera repertoire. For two weeks each June, these musicians live and work together, presenting 28 concerts, 33 events and over 200 free open rehearsals for music lovers from all over the world.

Ticket prices cover only 26% of the National Music Festival performance and outreach expenses. The 
remaining 74% must come from corporate and individual contributions. The National Music Festival's 
Apprentice Scholarship Fund supports the operating expenses of the Festival, enhancing its capacity  
for continued community outreach and artistic excellence. Contributor membership levels begin at $50 
and entitle donors to recognition, benefits and  involvement opportunities. For more information on how 
to support the National Music Festival, please visit this web site's Support NMF page, or contact
