"At MMMF there is an acceptance of a wide range of goals and abilities unlike any musical situation that I've been in. I felt supported in my endeavors and I learned so much from watching and helping others strive for their goals."
Rebecca Harris, Violinist
Orchestra of St. Luke's, NYC

"MMMF is a place where one can clarify thought, hone practice techniques, or even contemplate radical changes in the safety of a supportive collegial environment. Burton Kaplan is a superlative guide along whichever path one chooses to follow."
Thalia Moore, Associate Principal Cello
San Francisco Opera Orchestra

"It has been a tremendous gift to work freely in an atmosphere of mutual support and cooperation. The mental habits of unfettered exploration and observation that are cultivated here contrast starkly with the harsh judging and controlling which have unfortunately been central to our training."
Nancy Headlee, Assistant Principal Viola
Denver Chamber Orchestra
