But don't take our word for it. Here are what our students are saying:
​
"Musical and personal growth, with people and experiences I’ll remember for a lifetime."
​
"An 11-day-long excursion into forested, rural NorCal in the company of hardworking, kind-natured, and dedicated musical peers and staff."
​
"Pacific Crest Music Festival goes above and beyond the typical chamber music festival; students walk away from PCMF with not only with a greater understanding of ensemble, technique, and musicianship, but also with the enduring sense of being part of a musical family.
Thanks for everything!!"
​
"Attending PCMF, I really learned how to work with others even when we had contrasting ideas...how important compromising is when preparing chamber music. I was surprised at how quickly we were able to bond knowing that even when we all came from very different backgrounds, we all had one thing in common and that was our love for chamber music. PCMF really helped me focus on certain aspects of my technique and ways to efficiently practice in order to achieve my goals."
​
"I'm so glad I found PCMF. I had so much fun...It has literally been the fastest week of my life."
​
"PCMF was one of the most nourishing and challenging musical experiences I have ever had. The faculty get to know each student personally and are actively involved in helping students grow by playing beside them all day and even staying in contact with them after PCMF has ended. The learning environment is ideal, and the small size of the festival makes it a wonderful experience not just musically but also personally. I will always treasure my memories of this music festival."
​
"The Pacific Crest Music Festival was one of the best musical experiences I've had. Aside from getting out of the city and making new friends, we were able to make music and learn from one another."
