What Parents Are Saying...
"She was going to quit..."
My daughter was going to quit cello. But after her time at the Festival, she joined two orchestras, found a new teacher, and had a renewed love for the instrument. - Joanna C.
"My daughter learned to love acting."
The first year my daughter came to Younger Division, she would barely phonate on stage. But after three years in the program, the directors were writing a song just for her! Now she's working professionally as a child actress - she loves it! - Alex B.
"Our son decided to pursue music."
Our son first attended the Festival when he was in his teens. He loved the community so much that he decided to pursue music professionally. Later he even married a girl he met at the Festival. It has profoundly impacted our lives! - John A.
"My daughter had a lesson that completely changed her violin playing."
We first discovered the Annie Moses Band through a concert and then attended their Festival. Right away we realized that my daughter's violin technique needed an overhaul! Annie was such an amazing teacher - she gave us a new vision for what was possible. - Amy M.

The Annie Moses Band & A Legacy of Excellence
The Summer Music Festival was founded by the Annie Moses Band, a family of Nashville raised and New York trained performers. Genre-defying and unforgettable, the group has been thrilling audiences for over a decade with a sweeping virtuosity and musical spirit that is both fresh and poignant. These are true musicians of the highest caliber drawn together by the bonds of family, faith, and love for their audience.
Raised by award-winning Nashville songwriters, Bill and Robin Wolaver, this band of Juilliard-trained siblings have graced the stages of Carnegie Hall and the Grand Ole Opry House. Their PBS specials, “Christmas with the Annie Moses Band” and “The Art of the Love Song” broke records and have been nominated for an Emmy. Their 2021 project “Tales From My Grandpa’s Pulpit” topped Billboard charts. Most recently their newest album, "Under The Tree Of Life" debuted at The Kennedy Center in 2024 and slated for release later this year.
"Why The Arts Can Transform Your Child (And The World)"
A Message from Annie Dupre, founder of AMF
"The performing arts are a powerful force in the modern world. A hundred years ago, you might have heard a singer in a recital hall or on the radio. Today innumerable platforms give us unparalleled access to creative content.
At the same time artists find it more difficult than ever to make their presence felt in the marketplace. Music education exists in a no-man’s-land of high tuition, anemic excellence, and an inability to engage a market that changes in months, not years. But most critically, the performing arts today lack any call higher than self-promotion or political posturing. Why do we create? What is the purpose of our music?"
“Christianity provides us with an answer: to glorify the Creator through our own creativity.”
"The artist who is best equipped to do this is one who has a wide variety of skill sets. They not only perform, but write music. They are not only bound to a single genre, but can work in all genres. They can notate and educate, produce and perform, record, and most of all, root their art in the rich soil of Christian spirituality."
"This is how we will reclaim a darkening world for Christ: by unleashing the beauty of truth with excellence."
