Yellow Barn

Centered in beautiful Putney, VT, Yellow Barn offers an inspiring five-week study and performance experience for young professional musicians each summer. Public concerts, masterclasses, musicological discussions and community events are presented from early July through early August. The preceding 18-day Young Artists Program in June welcomes instrumentalists and composers ages 13 - 20 and culminates in three exciting public performances.  Additional concerts and special events take place year-round in conjunction with Artist Residencies, for musicians of all ages and all stages of their careers. Unusual for its supportive, noncompetitive and challenging learning environment and its imaginative programming, Yellow Barn attracts some of the best up-and-coming young string, piano, woodwind, and percussion players in the nation. Together with a world-renowned faculty, they explore and perform works from the Baroque to the contemporary.
