Kinhaven’s supporters contribute in innumerable ways to the transformational experience we offer to young musicians. They sustain our scholarship programs, improve our equipment and facilities, volunteer their service on the board, and ensure our long-term financial health through contributions to the endowment. This support makes a big difference to the young musicians we serve in their personal and professional development.
DEVELOPING PEOPLE THROUGH MUSIC
In 1952, Kinhaven founders David and Dorothy Dushkin laid out
their vision for a place where “children of similar musical interests, removed from the compromises and conflicts undermining their gifts, can actually live with music and greatly profit thereby.” Nearly 75 years later, their singular vision endures through intensive classical music programs that offer young musicians opportunities to focus on high-level performance in a distinctly nurturing, non-competitive and collaborative environment. Our alumni share many stories of the artistic and personal transformation they experienced at Kinhaven, and how the experience has helped them become lifelong ambassadors for the arts and leaders for social change.
