Founded
in 1964 by Robert K. Beckwith and Lewis Kaplan, the Bowdoin International
Music Festival brings renowned classical musicians from around the
world to Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine each summer for six
weeks of instruction and performance. More than 250 highly
talented young performers of graduate, college, and high school
levels further their artistic development through a concentrated
program of instrumental study and composition with the Festival's
outstanding artist faculty. The Bowdoin
Festival produces seven concert series – three artists' concert
series, two student concert series, and two series in which students
and faculty perform together, EuroFest and the Gamper Festival of
Contemporary Music. Through its concert presentations, the
festival brings performers of international stature and a rich variety
of musical programming to thousands of residents and summer visitors.
The following is a short
