Our programs engage aspiring artists to develop, collaborate and grow. Each summer world-class performers and educators join forces to present specialized programming with the common mission of challenging and inspiring the next generation of musicians, educators, and cultural ambassadors. The Frederick L. Hemke Saxophone Institute and the Maine Chamber Music Seminar attract high-level college, graduate, and post-graduate level musicians from around the world.

Participants immerse in music-making in a uniquely nurturing and intimate environment. A strong foundation is provided to ignite the creative and critical mind; life-long friendships develop which will fuel future networking, and vital connections are made that will forge pathways for meaningful lives in the arts.

Snow Pond Music Festival is pleased to offer two unique programs in conjunction during the 2023 season. Each of these seminars offers professional insight and assistance, as well as exposure to world-class musicians and peers in a peaceful and intimate setting.
