PLEASE NOTE: ALL PROGRAMS AND ARTISTS SUBJECT TO CHANGE

When I first imagined the opening weekend at the 2018 Rockport Chamber Music Festival, I

envisioned a transformative experience for both audience and artist alike; a dialogue between the two that would inspire new excitement for the beauty and emotional power of music, and

signal new momentum in what I truly believe is one of the greatest summer festivals in the

world. Rockport Music already has a reputation as a destination for some of the

brightest stars in classical music, with a glorious concert hall in which beauty of

sound and design exist in perfect harmony. I want to see this reputation for excellence

evolve continuously: we start this journey of evolution in the summer of 2018 with

an aura of revolution and appetite for challenge, embracing the traditional

and the new simultaneously, proving the continued relevance of classical music.

The 2018 summer of r:EVOLUTION signals an exciting new era for the Rockport Chamber Music Festival. Building on its roots, we ignite

new enthusiasm and interest for music and the festival itself through electrifying

programming featuring new artists, broadening our community engagement,

and investing in the next generation of artists.
