2026 was the highly successful inaugural year for the Eastern Festival of Music. After the former Eastern Music Festival was dissolved in Fall 2025, a new group of dedicated leaders got together and formed our new festival. With all the same faculty and long-time Music Director Gerard Schwarz, EFM offers students the opportunity to play in two rotating orchestras, perform chamber music, take private lessons, and attend master classes, seminars, and workshops. Harpists will also have the opportunity to perform in the faculty orchestra. 2027 promises to build on our wonderful 2026 season. Please join us!
