Description:
|
The Norfolk Chamber Music Festival - Yale Summer School of Music celebrates its 63rd year of great music in 2005. Each year the Festival features up to 30 or more performances by many of the world’s most acclaimed musical artists as well as sixty or more of the up and coming musicians who are selected to participate as Fellows of the Yale Summer School of Music. Over the years, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival has become renowned as a center for chamber music performance and professional study, unusual programming, and innovative offerings.
The Festival is situated on the Ellen Battell Stoeckel Estate's 70 acres of rolling lawns, glorious gardens and historic buildings in the rural town of Norfolk in northwestern, Connecticut. The strong tradition of music in Norfolk dates back more than a century. Ellen Battell Stoeckel, an accomplished pianist and singer, began hosting informal musical gatherings in Whitehouse, the Estate’s 35-room family mansion. Mrs. Stoeckel and her husband Carl, son of Gustav Stoeckel, the first Professor of Music at Yale University, founded the Litchfield County Choral Union in 1899 and built a music festival around its concerts. The Norfolk Chamber Music Festival quickly became one of the most important and prestigious musical events of its time.
