Apple Hill Chamber music


http://www.applehill.org/

Apple Hill's first international Playing for Peace Project was in 1988, when the Apple Hill Chamber Players toured Israel under the auspices of the US State Department and the US Embassy in Israel. The tour consisted of public Apple Hill Chamber Players concerts; private, US Ambassador hosted AHCP concerts; workshops; and the awarding, with the US Ambassador presiding, of Playing for Peace scholarships – full tuition, room, board, and transportation expenses for one – month's participation and study in the 1988 Apple Hill Summer Festival in New Hampshire – to Israeli Jewish and Israeli Arab students.

Founded in 1973, the Apple Hill Chamber Players are the performing artists and faculty for the internationally celebrated Apple Hill Festival in East Sullivan, NH, USA, where they are joined by professional, student, and amateur participants of all ages and backgrounds from all over the US and around the world.
