The Bowdoin International Music Festival brings renowned artist instructors, performers, soloists, and gifted pre-professional classical musicians from around the world to beautiful Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine each summer for six weeks of intensive chamber music study, collaboration, and performance.

Musicians from groups such as the New York Philharmonic and Cleveland Orchestra, the Ying and Shanghai quartets, and major conservatories including Juilliard, Eastman, Indiana, Shanghai, and London’s Royal College collaborate with our summer study participants and present more than 80 concerts each season in seven concert series.

2010 concerts featured Schumann and Chopin

Our 2010 season, the 200th anniversary of the birth of both Schumann and Chopin, featured the piano concerto and chamber works of Schumann, many of his great piano works, as well as those of Chopin. Romanticism at its best!

2010 Bowdoin Virtuosi program a great success

Four of the most accomplished young artists worldwide were selected to perform this summer with Festival faculty and to participate in the summer study program. The four are all winners of major international competitions or have played significant recitals or concert appearances with major orchestras. Their concerts have received rave reviews and all have expressed interest in returning in future years.
