Cormont Music is a New Hampshire nonprofit corporation founded in 1997 by A. Kendall Betts with the primary purpose of sponsoring the Kendall Betts Horn Camp. This incorporation came about due to the success of the first three camps in 1995, ‘96 and ‘97 as it became apparent to Mr. Betts that a legal structure for the enterprise was needed. Upon further research, he decided that a non profit corporation was the proper entity. This would enable him to establish a scholarship program as he would then be able to accept tax-deductible donations from the public. Mr. Betts organized a Board of Trustees in August of 1997 and the legal process began to obtain the status of tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This status was granted by the Internal Revenue Service to Cormont Music in May of 1999.
The mission statement of Cormont Music is: "To promote the art of horn playing through education, performance and publishing."
