Winold Music Festival

June 9th - 14th

Mission

The Winold Music Festival was founded in honor of the renowned cellist and pedagogue Helga Winold. Our mission is to enrich the music culture in Southwest Florida by providing participants with an intensive chamber music experience.

 

Festival participants will work closely with outstanding faculty and guest artists by receiving daily coaching to improve their technical, expressive, and musical skills. Courses that discuss strategies for practice, improvisation, music theory, and communication in music will take place throughout the festival.

 

We invite pianists, violinists, violists, and cellists to join us for this dynamic one-week fine arts festival!

Tuition

Tuition: $400

Attendance is required for the entire duration of the festival. Decisions regarding admissions and scholarships will be made in May and applicants will be notified of acceptance by email. 

Tuition includes daily coaching, music classes, performance workshops, and the opportunity to play in a masterclass for a guest artist.
