Music on the Mountain
The Killington. Music Concert Series offers a promising prelude to the future potential of musical performances at Killington
In the summer of 2025, the Green Mountains resonated once more with the sound of inspirational chamber music. The newly formed Killington. Music Concert Series affirmed the lasting impact of classical music in Killington, welcoming a curated audience of regionally based creative and business leaders to enjoy two world-class concerts.
Killington. Music came into being thanks to the joint efforts of cultural philanthropist and changemaker Luc Walter and concert violinist, conductor, and educator Dr. Daniel Andai. Working together, they presented a pair of performances at Rebel’ s Retreat, a private venue in Killington. Through the concerts, it became clear that the undying spirit of music in Killington did not conclude when Killington Music Festival( KMF) completed its final season in 2024. It simply found fresh expression and a new home.
Their collaboration arrives at a moment of real transformation on the mountain. Killington Resort has undertaken a significant, multi-year capital investment program, and the Canadian development company Great Gulf is continuing to shape and actualize an ambitious village concept at Killington that envisions residences, hospitality amenities, and four-season public spaces.
