The Rockport Chamber Music Festival launches its 44th season

The opening of the 44th Rockport Chamber Music Festival marks the 15th anniversary of its concert hall, the Shalin Liu Performance Center, which gave the festival a permanent home under the expanded organization of Rockport Music.

The month-long festival launches on Friday, June 13, in addition to three “annex” dates for performances through early August. The festival is known for bringing in the most celebrated of musicians as well as rising stars on the chamber music scene. The music performed is equally varied from the beloved masterworks of classical composers to contemporary compositions and even commissions.
