A Brief History of the Property

The 215 year-old main house sits "far from the madding crowd" on 80 breathtaking acres at the top of the mountain. A new wing was added in 1993. It features 9 soundproofed rooms, a library/listening room, a concert space and a fitness room. In addition, in 2006 the Carriage House was built. This added 3 more luxurious, individual practice/living spaces to accommodate a total of 12 participants. Each participant lives and practices in her private space.
