Summer Chamber Music Festivals
Maine is also renowned for its summertime chamber music and classical festivals. They often celebrate chamber music as it was meant to be experienced: in living rooms and parlors, surrounded by family and friends. In addition to hearing live performances with some of the finest chamber musicians in the world, audiences mingle with these artists in an informal setting and share musical insights and personal connections.
