Life at Taos is waking up breathing fresh mountain air from your charming home, the French ski lodge located in the mountains of northern New Mexico.
This remarkable place is where incredible friendships are formed, mountain experiences are discovered, and lasting memories are created.
Experience our unique music festival. Taos’ format is unusual because students study a variety of chamber works that are unfamiliar and not preassigned before arrival. It’s a real-life experience; the pressure of preparing a new piece in a short period of time while learning to work and communicate with a variety of personalities.
We invite you to be challenged & inspired!
