Decoda is thrilled to announce the 10th Anniversary Season of Decoda’s celebrated Chamber Music Festival at our new home, tucked away in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, right outside of Asheville, North Carolina, June 23 - 30, 2024. 

Decoda’s new summer partner, Warren Wilson College, aligns harmoniously with our own mission to create, connect, and spread compassion through music. Believing that “the world needs curiosity,” Warren Wilson is a campus community that fosters relationships with community partners through meaningful engagement, sustainable agriculture practices, and by educating the next generation of “curiously insightful, experienced, and capable individuals.” 

Decoda cannot wait to celebrate ten years of our unique summer festival, which is dedicated to training the next generation of young artists to rethink and reimagine their role in society. Through outstanding chamber music making, creative collaboration, and hands-on project design and development, DCMF cultivates the vision of community through music with the young artists of tomorrow.

Elgar’s Cello Concerto is undoubtedly one of the most impassioned and emotionally expressive pieces of music ever written, perfect for setting the tone for a romantic Valentine’s Day week. Brought to life by Music Director finalist Nadège Foofat, each note weaves its way into your soul, captivating and moving you to places that defy description. And when played by the equally dazzling and expressive soloist Claire Bryant, checking your own emotions will be no small feat. And while Elgar’s lush piece is the capstone, we begin with Jennifer Higdon’s soaringly tender and contemplative blue cathedral, which will set your soul to singing. The program concludes with Schumann’s illustrative and idyllic Symphony No. 3.
