Appalachian Chamber Music Festival: Behind Every Great Woman…

Join ACMF for a celebration of women composers with fascinating stories to tell.

We’ve all heard the saying “Behind every great man is a great woman” but we are now in a time where we can flip this, and explore works by incredible women in the past 100 years, who were all no doubt inspired as all classical musicians are by the music of Mozart.

In this enchanting program, we feature works mostly written by women around the world in the past 100 years. This program journeys from Azerbaijan across Europe and the British Isles before finishing in Washington D.C. with Caroline Shaw’s captivating “Plan and Elevation” inspired by the historic Dumbarton Oaks home in Georgetown.

The Appalachian Chamber Music Festival’s third season, scheduled for August 14 – 27, includes a 12-concert series programmed around the theme “Places That Inspire”. ACMF melds world-class chamber music performances, collaboration, and outreach with the rich and inspiring history, nature, and culture of Harpers Ferry and the surrounding region. We are all about bringing music to audiences in new, meaningful, and accessible ways! Each concert is unique, and audiences rave about their experience. Discover the joy and excitement that makes ACMF the must-attend concert series of the summer!
