Luke Flemming founded the festival. He got his first lesson in classical music as a student at a Louisiana public school.
"I was always a musical kid. My parents got me piano lessons and I absolutely hated it. But then they started doing strings twice a week at my public school and that sounded great to me," said Flemming.

It's called chamber music because that's where it all started back in the 18th century.
