Nadya Hill and Michael Hoffman have founded the Mountain Area Chamber Music Festival: a new, one-of-a-kind week-long program of vocal and strings chamber music open to rising 6th- through 12th-graders, led by world-renowned master clinicians and coaches in beautiful Evergreen, Colorado!

 

Both professional performers and teachers from the Denver and Minneapolis/St. Paul areas, Nadya Hill and Michael Hoffman have formed MACMF to address an incredibly important yet grossly underrepresented facet of music education:  vocal and strings chamber music for middle- and high- schoolers.

 

Nadya’s passion for chamber music and community outreach began early in her violin career when she was brought into a professional string quartet at age 12.  Years of playing in summer programs, performing for area schools, engaging in competitions, and simply rehearsing with a group of motivated peers inspired her to expose as many people as possible to the joys of chamber music- whether in a professional or amateur setting.

 

Michael found his calling in vocal chamber music while studying at the world-renowned Franz Schubert Institut in Baden bei Wein, Austria. After being exposed to some of the world’s foremost vocal chamber coaches, it became one of his greatest passions to ensure that this level of education would be made possible in the state of Colorado.  Michael’s predominant goals for this program are to help nurture young minds in exploring the foundations of poetry and song, and to use those understandings to explore their own vulnerability when performing in front of a welcoming peer-based audience.
