32nd Annual Joseph Stein Chamber Music Festival
The Joseph Stein Chamber Music Festival is a musical celebration that gives area musicians an opportunity to perform chamber music. Thirty years ago, the Festival was created to honor the memory and accomplishments of Joseph Stein, long-time Belmont resident and music supporter. Stein's love of chamber music lives on in this evening, which celebrates the great literature written for small ensembles.
Two unique performances begin at 5:30 and 7:30 pm, and will encompass a wide variety of genres in different instrumental settings, by all ages and abilities. One can expect to hear amateur and professionals together under one roof in an atmosphere of learning, sharing and performance.
Ensembles interested in playing at this year's annual Stein Chamber Music Festival should contact Powers Music School. If you are a musician but not currently part of an ensemble, festival chair Sarah Freiberg can help place you in an ensemble. Call Mary Oliveri, Student and Community Programs Coordinator at 617-484-4696 ext 15 to register.
