OP mtnmanchuck Full Member M Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 20 Southern California	Greetings, all! I recently applied for and got accepted to the summer piano program at the Chautauqua Institution in New York, and was wondering if anyone on the forum has any experience at this amazing-looking place; it seems like it will be a summer to remember. Also, this is my very first summer festival I will be participating in, so I'm pretty excited. (Wayyyy overdue, I know) "Simplicity is the highest goal, achievable when you have overcome all difficulties." -Chopin
