To the Faulkner Chamber Music Festival community,
It is our most sincere wish that you and your loved ones are healthy and safe during this time. As we continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic, we have kept the welfare of our students, their families, and our faculty and staff in mind. Your well-being is our primary concern and we remain committed to doing our part to keep the community safe. And so, after much thoughtful deliberation and research, and in light of recommendations by health officials, we must announce our difficult decision to postpone FCMF 2020.
We are planning to hold a rescheduled FCMF during the next spring break, from March 20th-26th, 2021. We are committed to offering the full intensive, immersive chamber music experience that we look forward to and plan for every year. That seems very far away, so we also want to see our returning alums and new students before then. For those of you who stay enrolled OR enroll early - before July 1st - you will be entitled to receive three one-on-one lessons with FCMF faculty of your choice, as well as at least one FCMF group event, all online.
We understand this comes as a disappointment. It is the same for the faculty, who look forward to making music and teaching together every summer. We will continue connecting with our FCMF student musicians and the whole music community throughout the year to keep the beautiful art of making chamber music alive.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions or concerns! You can call or text FCMF coordinator Amanda Curcio at 615-775-6744, email us at FCMFmusic@gmail.com, or stay connected through our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/FCMFmusic – click like while you’re there!). You can also email director Geoffrey Robson at geoffrobson@gmail.com. Please join our email list to stay updated.
We will make music again – together!
