Since 2011, New Music On The Point ‘s June Festival has brought composers and performers together to create brand new music in an inspiring natural setting. Located on Lake Dunmore beneath the Green Mountains of Vermont, under a night-time sky filled with stars, our world-class music faculty guides and inspires our participants through one-on-one lessons, master classes, workshops, and coachings. Composition participants receive a public performance and recording of one of their new or pre-existing works. Workshop topics in 2026 will include MAX for Beginners, Songwriting, Group Improvisation, Just Intonation, Electronics Ensemble, Grantwriting and Fundraising, and much more! Together, participants and faculty perform concerts in unusual locations—often outdoors—with programs that include an exciting range of styles and sounds.
