Appalachian Chamber Music Festival

Inspired by the natural beauty and charm of Harpers Ferry and driven by her love of chamber music, cellist Katie Tertell founded the Appalachian Chamber Music Festival in 2021. Katie believes that music has the power to bring us together. No matter your age, tastes, background, ethnicity or creed, sharing an intimate musical experience has the potential to change lives by reminding us what it means to be alive. Katie draws inspiration from ACMF artists who are also friends- people who are united by this ethos and want to make the world a better place by sharing our enthusiasm and love of music. We strive to illuminate the ties between all music. Louis Armstrong put it well: "There are two types of music: the good, and the other kind. I play the good kind."
