These include seven summer concerts at the southern vermont arts center, the manchester chamber orchestra's fall tour, and holiday concerts around the northshire. We host renowned musicians and operate a full-scholarship summer chamber music program for pre-professional performers. For children, mmf operates the michael rudiakov music academy offering private lessons in violin, viola and cello, and a youth ensemble for string players. We offer free concerts and residencies to local schools, and each july we offer music education week when children can take a week of instrumental lessons with a member of our young artists program.
