A New Site for our 75th Year
The Chamber Music Conference is pleased and excited to announce that the 2022 Conference will take place at Colgate University .
The Conference selected Colgate, a private liberal arts college in Hamilton, NY, to be its next site, after an extensive search. As we bid farewell to Bennington College, we look forward to welcoming you to Colgate in 2022, when the Conference will celebrate its 75th year and begin a new era.
The Colgate campus, set on a hill with broad vistas of the rural Chenango Valley in central New York, has frequently been recognized as one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States. The Conference will concentrate its activities around the academic quad in the upper level of the campus.
The Chapel has two superb concert pianos, and Colgate will provide high-quality pianos for us to use in coaching and free playing.
All of the buildings we will use have accessible entrances, and the dorms and academic buildings have elevators.
The Conference has had successful experience at Colgate. In 2001, when Bennington College was unable to make four weeks available to us, we operated our first week at Colgate, and feedback from a survey at the end of that week was overwhelmingly positive. In 2022, we expect to improve on that experience with more comfortable and more accessible facilities for coaching and housing, and we will celebrate our 75th anniversary with four important chamber music commissions and other special events. Please plan to join us!
