“One of the Nation’s most elite summer music conservatories.”

“One of the most prestigious and intimate of summer music schools in the country.”

“Listening to the exceptional skill of these extraordinarily talented young musicians I couldn’t help but think how unique they are today in a world of instant gratification, easy distraction, and crass commercialism.  Here are people who have devoted years to developing a technique apart from the frivolous pastimes of their peers, steeping themselves in a high order of challenge and devotion – a realm of music that requires the cultivation of both a mind and soul.”

“Does chamber music have a future?  The Taos School of Music answers an emphatic ‘yes’.  In the all-too-fragile world of classical music, chamber music – the most esoteric art – might be thought to have the most tenuous existence.  But with dedicated young musicians like these, there is little doubt that its continued existence is not only assured but also guaranteed to be vibrant and expansive.”
