One-of-a-kind
in concept and execution, the
Hot Springs Music Festival brings together over 250 international
musicians each June in the historic spa resort of Hot
Springs National Park.
The Festival, now in its
thirteenth season, pairs world-class mentor musicians
from major orchestras, chamber ensembles and conservatory
faculties with especially talented pre-professional apprentices--all
of whom receive full scholarship plus housing; the two
groups play "side by side" in orchestral, chamber,
solo recital, vocal, choral and chamber opera repertoire.
For two weeks, these musicians form a unique community,
presenting 20 concerts and over 250 open rehearsals for
music lovers from across the globe.
