>>Norfolk Chamber Music Festival
Location: New Haven, CT
Open to: All instruments, piano, composition
Website: Norfolk >>

Just a quick note...the Yale Summer Program (Norfolk Chamber Music Festival) is NOT located in New Haven. It is located in Norfolk CT...in the northwestern corner of the state. Norfolk is a terrific and supporting community for the arts. That festival is excellent. BUT if a student wants an urban environment, they will not be very happy in rural Norfolk!!

That's the issue with doing a list like this with links. I haven't found a way to do it easily and efficiently. One way would be to change the link to text, and copy the text with each update. Users could just then cut and paste the text to their browser if it's of interest.

How do we get the mods to stick pin this one to the top of this music forum? Otherwise when we REALLY need it, it will be buried somewhere. Please???

At the bottom of the music forum you will notice a line that indicates who moderates this board. CollegeMom is the preferred person to contact. When you want to get a thread stickied, click on her name at the bottom of the page, then send her an email. She is very good about responding.


Edit to add this link again - have to register, but it's free to do so:
